Assessing Justification and Proof in Geometry Classes Taught using Dynamic Software.

Galindo, Enrique

Mathematics Teacher, v91 n1 p76-82 Jan 1998

Discusses the benefits of dynamic geometry software in helping students learn to write proofs. The software allows students to create simple geometric figures, explore relationships, make conjectures about their properties, and test those conjectures. (AIM)
