Lesson idea. GeoGebra is a free, fun, interactive software environment that can be used with great effect to promote interactive teaching and enquiry based learning. The competition winning GeoGebra applets presented here also come with guidance notes for use in the primary classroom.

Teaching approach. The following guidance note are provided for each resource:

The winner of the competition was Anthony Or with his pair of complementary applets on perimeter and area. Both applets have in-app spreadsheets for students to record their investigation results. These are excellent applets for visualising area and perimeter, addressing common misconceptions held by primary school students in a fun interactive way.


The ORBIT/GeoGebra competition yielded a further three high quality GeoGebra activities


Guidance notes:

One student also produced an excellent document with links to GeoGebra files
