Knowledge

• a)Explore the functionalities and educational applications of GeoGebra as a dynamic geometry software and recognise its role in enhancing the teaching and learning of geometric concepts;
• b)Demonstrate knowledge of MSWLogo programming language, including its core features and its integration into the geometry curriculum;
• c)Comprehend the use of the Desmos mobile application as a graph plotter understanding its capabilities and how it can be effectively utilized to visualize and explore mathematical functions and graphs.
•  

Skills

• • a)Use the online platform Geogebra to investigate static and dynamic aspects of geometric concepts, study analytic geometry, and create exportable geometric shapes;
  • b)Use Geogebra to create interactive geometry lessons and help students learn geometric concepts;
  • c)Use Geogebra to investigate geometric notions included in the secondary curriculum like polygonal and triangular properties, circle theorems, similarity, congruency, and loci;
  • d)Use Geogebra to investigate geometric notions included in the post-secondary curriculum like coordinate geometry and transformations of graphs;
  • e)Use the programming language MSWLogo to create geometric artefacts and study the principles behind those artefacts;
  • f)Utilise MSWLogo to help students immerse themselves in geometric shapes and learn the associated geometric concepts;
  • g)Use MSWLogo to create complex geometric shapes, such as a building façade, a vehicle, and a clock;
  • h)Use MSWLogo to analyse concepts behind geometric artefacts such as symmetries and tessellations;
  • i)Make use of the mobile app Desmos to plot graphs of particular functions and also to investigate the relationships between graphs and the coefficients of their equations and also the transformation of graphs;
  • j)Apply Desmos to create cartesian and polar graphs and investigate the relationship between the shape of these graphs and the coefficients of their equations.
