GeoGebra Tool for Building Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics

Abstract

At the beginning of the 3rd millennium we are facing dramatic changes in the basic nature of teaching and learning strategies caused by massive use of new ICT. We can benefit from this development in general, and in mathematics especially, as currently available dynamic and visual learning environments as software GeoGebra could affect our perspective in terms of the content and comprehension of mathematics education. Few ideas are presented on how GeoGebra can be used as tool for creating cognitive connections between different representations of mathematical concepts, which form the necessary background for better conceptual understanding, steady knowledge and mathematical literacy.
