| Title of Talk | Discovery learning in linear algebra using dynamical geometry software. |
| Abstract | I have developed several Geometers Sketchpad sketches that students can use to help them understand transformations, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and a geometrical interpretation of the determinant. These dynamic sketches are used in discovery learning exercises in a computer classroom. In this talk I will demonstrate a couple of sketches and explain how they are used in the classroom. |
