  • Technology and simple math ideas inspire teaching [Elektronski vir]
    Kobal, Damjan
    Sharing group discussion would (partially as a workshop) present an alternative approach to traditional teaching of several concepts. Ideas can be used as an inspiring motivation which challenges and ... deepens the understanding of different math ideas (variable, equation, arithmetic mean, function, parabola, ellipse, ...). Furthermore, math ideas are backed by simple and intuitive technology solutions/inventions, which allow for a discussion to be presented at all educational levels from primary to tertiary (and even advanced tertiary). For example, intuitive understanding of "car differential " leads us from the understanding of the arithmetic mean all the way to the advanced concept of "geodesics ". By modern dynamic geometry programs (like GeoGebra) we can (simplify and) simulate particular technology functioning and visualize/understand the essence of the mathematical ideas (behind technological solutions). The activity promotes the innovative use of technology and smart application of ancient math ideas.
