Now watch how Abel talked about why he thought the use of Geogebra would be helpful for his lesson. Was his view similar or different to yours? Do you think your students can make use of Geogebra for this kind of enquiry lesson?

{{activity|Whole group discussion}}  Watch the following clip on Abel trying to get students to understand the relationship of area and perimeter. Pay attention to the questions he posed. What other questions could be asked to elicit the students ideas on the concept of area? How might a 'think pair share' approach to the class discussion have affected student’s learning? Consider the question, ‘How do/can we measure area?’.  How might this question be developed into a useful enquiry activity for students?

The next clip shows how the students made use of Geogebra in their enquiry process.  How do you think such an approach of learning would be helpful for the students? Do you think it helped them to become more engaged and confident? Why do you think so?
