2024 ACTM Fall Forum

Technology must be incorporated in mathematics instruction in a way that supports students' meaningful exploration and understanding of mathematics (Dick & Hollebrands, 2011; NCTM, 2014, 2018). In Geometry, technology extends the possibilities of student exploration well beyond the means of paper and pencil. This session will explore how technology can be used to support students’ exploration of the relationships and connections between different classes of quadrilaterals. During the session, participants will use Geogebra and Snap! to explore different representational systems of quadrilaterals-constructions, symmetries, and coding- and discuss how such investigations can support students in understanding their hierarchical relationships and developing their own quadrilateral definitions. Don't forget to bring your laptop or your device as you join us in this explorations.
