University of Cape Coast.MAG Secretariat., 2000. Cofie, "Mathematics Teaching/Learning in Basic and Senior Secondary School," Journal of the Mathematical Association of Ghana, pp. Looney, " A study of students’ understanding of patterns and functions in grades 3-5," Dissretation Abstract International, pp. The study can confirm that the integration of GSP technology in teaching and learning of quadratics can improve students’ motivation, excitement and concepts understanding. The study revealed a positive improvement in student’s performance after using the Geometer’s Sketchpad Application (GSP) software. A total of 80 students were sampled for the entire study but 40 for the Experimental Group and 40 for the Control Group not undermining gender fairness. The study employed true-experimental (Post-test) design as a strategy of enquiry using Geometer’s Sketchpad application software in which the mixed-method strategy was used in the sampling of the study area, study respondents and analysis. This study sought to explore how the geometer’s sketchpad (GSP) could be used to improve students’ performance in quadratic graphs. Paul Kunkel email to reach me, the word geometry must appear in the body of the message.Arguably the teaching and learning of algebra in schools have been perceived as difficult (Looney, 2004) at all levels due to the non-usage of modern technology, especially in Africa. They may be found in the Sketchpad Gallery. Many of them can be found scattered throughout Whistler Alley Mathematics, but there are many others having no direct connection to any of the lessons. I have a collection of Sketchpad files created by me and others. See detailed instructions here: Graph Paper Documentation The newest version can also create isometric or oblique grids. It offers a lot of options for the grid and tick mark spacing, index numbers, and colors. Graph_Paper DecemThis is intended to help people customize graphs that are being prepared for printed material. See the documentation and tutorial on the Perspective Solids link. I have really been having a lot of fun with this. Solid_Tools JThis is a package of solids that goes along with the Perspective Tools. Piecewise_Tools JanuThese tools are used to define piecewise functions with up to five component functions. Perspective Tools Manual If you are just beginning, start here. Some major revisions have been made since the release of GSP-5. It is a bit more complicated that the others, which is why I wrote some documentation to explain it in depth. Perspective_Tools JI am very happy with the way this package has turned out. This could be especially useful for people who export Sketchpad images for use in Web pages or printed material. Line Types ApThe tools allow a user to define special line types and apply them to line segments, arcs, and circles. Also, see this this Web page on the subject: Inversion Geometry Inversion_Tools SeptemThose of you who like to work with circle inversions may find this useful. This latest version includes cross ticks to indicate points and point labels that will remain displayed when the point is hidden. The scales of the marks are adjustable, but similar marks are kept uniform in size. It constructs arrowheads and marks indicating congruent angles, congruent line segments, parallel lines, and right angles. Geo_Notation AugThis file may prove to be useful for anyone who does a lot of geometry illustrations, particularly teachers who write their own material. The 2020 updates include two constructions drawn form Newton's Principia. Given various options of beginning parameters, an ellipse, hyperbola, or parabola is constructed. In any case, do not hesitate to write and ask questions.Ĭonics_Plus FebruThis is not a lesson in conics. In the case of Perspective Tools, which are rather complex, it would be best to read the Web page manual. All of these files have brief instructions and examples. Before trying to use a set of tools for the first time, please open the file itself. These tools are made available by copying the file into the folder labeled Tool Folder. They can be downloaded by clicking on the titles. The dates are listed here because these files will be refined periodically. I have taken a special interest in the custom tools capabilities. Let me know if you would like to have your site linked. I would like to have links to other pages that have done work with GSP4. The purpose of this page is to share ideas with users of the Geometers Sketchpad, with special emphasis on the new features of version 4.
