Tales of the Tape: Fostering Conceptual Understanding of Proportion with Dynamic Tape Diagrams
Meagher, Michael; Edwards, Michael Todd; Özgün-Koca, S. Asli
Australian Mathematics Education Journal, v1 n1 p24-28 2019
In this article, the authors present the use of digital tape diagrams--implemented using GeoGebra (2001) dynamic mathematics software--as a support to static diagrams to pose and solve proportional reasoning tasks. They show how dynamic sketches can allow students to explore standard tasks in proportional reasoning in ways that emphasise visualisation of the task and support conceptual understanding.
