Discuss how the use of OpenOffice spreadsheet and/or Geogebra can be a useful tool for teachers to make use of EBL. You may like to refer to the resource databases you have created for homework to suggest your insights. | Discuss how the use of OpenOffice spreadsheet and/or Geogebra can be a useful tool for teachers to make use of EBL.

Abel demonstrated how the area is kept constant by using the same piece of paper and rearranging its strips. The number of times a piece can be ‘cut’ and ‘rearranged’ in Geogebra could be infinite! Students could explore in Geogebra how changing the shape of any other figures (e.g. triangles) | Abel demonstrated how the area is kept constant by using the same piece of paper and rearranging its strips. The number of times a piece can be ‘cut’ and ‘rearranged’ in Geogebra could be infinite! Students could explore in Geogebra how changing the shape of any other figures (e.g. triangles) in different ways (while not changing the area), would affect the perimeter. | ||
