Isometries: a creative approach with Geogebra and iTALC

Abstract

Creativity is recognized as a basic skill but the educational system has not known, wanted or achieved foster their development. Conceptual renewal on isometries requires new approaches based on mathematically significant task sequences. The use of Dynamic Geometry Environments (DGE) can contribute that Mathematics is considered less hostile and to the development of geometrical competences. These "technological environments" are enhance d by the use of Classroom Management Systems. In this context, a qualitative case study has been developed. We concluded that a complementary technological approach seems to develop geometrical knowledge and skills and an "atmosphere" of cooperation and sharing enhance creativity.
