Our educational approach
For general logging in / editing, see GeoGebraOffline/Editing_on_GeoGebra_Tube. This page is for discussing our educational approach.
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
From an education perspective, we need to include some of these elements:
- General notes for both students and teachers
- Learning objective
- Success criteria
- the teaching approach (see above)
- Activities for students
- Activities for students to do before the GG task.
- Instructions for the GG task, including points for discussion
- Activities for students to do after the GG task (such as agreeing on outcomes)
- Teacher notes - additional notes on the above as needed, such as things students may struggle with
- Related applets
These need to be mapped on the available GG 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: LO, SC, TA
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.
We may want to use certain strings to indicate fields.
{{LO}}
Learning objective
{{SC}}
Success criteria
{{TA}}
Teaching approach (or skill that is practised)
{{BEFORE}}
Work that students do before using the GeoGebra applet. Such as making a conjecture, having a discussion as to what will happen, etc.
{{DURING}}
Instructions and guidance for discussion during the task, such as questions to discuss, or points on how to do the task.
After task: Questions or additional tasks
{{AFTER}}
Things to discuss after the task
Information for teachers
This should have additional information for the teacher.
