Culminating Projects in Teacher Development

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dynamic geometry software (DGS) on secondary students’ understanding of geometry concepts. This paper examines how dynamic geometry software (DGS) is used in the secondary mathematics classroom and its effects on student understanding and achievement through a review of the literature. The use of technology in mathematics education is well documented and its effects are noted within this paper. The focus of the literature review in Chapter 2 includes: 1) how the computer technology is used in the classroom; 2) the use of DGS to promote student understanding of inductive …
