| Title of Talk | Geometer's Sketchpad and Undergraduate Research |
| Abstract | We were able to purchase 12 student copies of Geometer's Sketchpad to be used by our pre-service teachers for their undergraduate research projects through a faculty development grant from the Simpson academic dean's office. In this talk, we will look at the variety of topics in geometry and computer aided design that our students worked on and how Geometer's Sketchpad helped the students in visualization, conjecture and proof. |
