Creation of Instructional Materials with GeoGebra
Chairs
Working Group Objectives
This working group aims to investigate the use of GeoGebra to create instructional materials for teaching and learning in all grade levels (from primary school up to university level and professional development). We will discuss the following topics:
- Collecting information about the design and development of instructional materials with GeoGebra;
- Designing instructional materials for students that foster discovery learning, mathematical experiments and student-centered learning;
- Discussing the use of GeoGebra as an authoring tool for teachers;
- Encouraging the creation and sharing of instructional resources (e.g., lesson plans, activities, dynamic worksheets, GeoGebra files) to create a usable pool of GeoGebra-related materials for primary and secondary grades;
- Designing resources for students and teachers to facilitate the introduction of the software and to foster successful use of GeoGebra;
- Developing ideas for future projects and discussing opportunities for international collaboration;
- Creating a wish list for features, tools and commands that support the creation of great instructional materials;

Session 4, 15.7.209, 14.30 - 15.30
Presentation
- Judith Hohenwarter: Design Guideline for dynamic worksheet
Discussion
Wishes for
- Next- and Back-Buttons for dynamic worksheet and simple interface for users,
- possibiliy to change the font size ,
- print button in dynamic worksheet,
- change between polar and cartesian coordinates and axes/grid (right click) - for enhanced version.
- dragable toolbar, different groups of toolbar for different topics
- Application versus appletsMany teachers prefer applets with refresh button,
- possibility to doubleclick and to modify applet is very useful.
