Synthetic Proof with the Support of Dynamic Geometry
Blažek, Jirí; Pech, Pavel
International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, v26 n3 p107-112 2019
The paper deals with searching for synthetic solution supported by the means of dynamic geometry. It consists of two parts. The first one describes how software influences searching for synthetic solutions of geometric problems. The second one describes a small pilot experiment in which students of Faculty of Education solved two more difficult tasks of secondary school level. Obtained results demonstrate that the software (GeoGebra) helped considerably, nevertheless many students had troubles with choosing and applying relevant mathematical theorems during the proving process. A few students did not reach the solution even though they found all relevant facts.
