Active Geometry
An excellent set of resources for teaching geometry using Cabri-Geometre II or using The Geometer’s Sketchpad.
The package consists of 17 files and over 100 associated worksheets that offer various activities on exploring mainstream topics in Shape and Space.
There is no need for either learner or teacher to know any of the construction techniques, which form the basis of the software; the files provide direct access to the mathematics curriculum. The worksheets, however, encourage both learners and teachers to become aware of the facilities available within menus and consider using them within some of the explorations of the files.
Explore mainstream topics in Shape and Space such as:
shape: triangles and quadrilaterals;
area: triangles, quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles, circles;
perimeter: triangles, quadrilaterals;
transformations: reflection, rotation;
equations and gradients of straight lines;
names and properties of quadrilaterals.
"An excellent accompaniment for dynamic geometry packages for the busy teacher" - Chris Bills, Maths Consultant.
A CD with Active Geometry for use with Cabri Geometre II and The Geometer’s Sketchpad versions 3 & 4. It also has free demonstration versions of Cabri Geometre II and The Geometer’s Sketchpad.
We can run courses which use this CD and other similar software.
The Government has set aside funds for your school to spend on multimedia resources in the form of eLCs (eLearning Credits). The money is distributed from central Government via LEAs to individual schools. Every school has an appointed eLC budget-holder holder. All teachers are invited to recommend resources for purchase.
This software package is part of the eLC scheme. You can buy it using your allocated eLCs.
For technical support we need to know the software package concerned and as much detail as possible of your query.
