Our educational approach

Have a look at the five GeoGebra applets available here ORBIT/GeoGebra_Competition. We won't be able to add the same amount of detail for each applet we copy or produce, but at least a few sentences should be given.

Also have a look at Teaching Approaches, in particular the NRICH examples given under:

• Applying and consolidating
• Exploring and noticing structure
• Posing questions and making conjectures
• Reasoning, justifying, convincing and proof
• Thinking strategically
• Visualising and explaining
• Working systematically

Ideally, we would relate the GGB applets we copy to those (or similar) approaches.

Key fields

There are five key fields, that we want to populate:

• Title
• Information for Students
• Questions or tasks
• Information for teachers
• Tags

Title

My suggestion is that we add a mathematical descriptive element to the title if possible. E.g. this could be:

Girl in a mirror - an exploration of triangles.

Make it as concrete as possible.

Information for Students

Before task

This is the task that students should do. Most of the applets on GG Tube don't have much information. We should really add to this.

1. Work that students do before using the GeoGebra applet. Such as making a conjecture, having a discussion as to what will happen, etc.
2. Instructions and guidance for discussion during the task.

These should be clearly separated, and we might want to use headings as follows

Before the GeoGebra task.

Before you start the GeoGebra task, brainstorm on what you know about ...

Instructions for the GeoGebra task.

Now look at the applet. ...

After task: Questions or additional tasks
