Abstract

The Common Core State Mathematics Standards (CCSSM) recommend that technology should be integrated into teaching and learning Mathematics. This chapter addresses how the Geometer’s Sketchpad computer program can support students’ thinking skills and learning outcomes in a high school geometry class, in particular for more effectively addressing the High School Geometry Standards (CCSSM: G.CO.10, G.CO. 11, and G.CO. 12). The findings from the study presented in this chapter indicate that this tool can help high school students increase their learning of geometry in terms of inductive reasoning and conceptual knowledge, but may not help improve students’ motivation to learn geometry.
