Peer reviewedArcavi, Abraham; Hadas, Nurit – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2000
There are several possible approaches in which dynamic computerized environments play a significant and possibly unique role in supporting innovative learning trajectories in mathematics in general and geometry in particular. Describes an approach based on a problem situation and some experiences using it with students and teachers. (Contains 15…

Peer reviewedBiermann, Carol A. – American Biology Teacher, 1989
Describes a lesson in which instruction is initiated through the right cerebral hemisphere by using visualizations as concrete aids to learning. Explanations include a hand model which is used to illustrate the dynamics of guard cell activity of stomates and a paper folding model to show increase in surface area. (RT)
