The
software was designed for teaching and learning the meaning and
concepts of points on an axis and on the plane. It enables
demonstrating, experiencing, exploring and understanding the meaning
of points' coordinates and how they can be used in Algebra to locate points
and create segments, lines, figures, etc.
With this software, the entire curriculum related to this topic can
be covered using the following
features and tools:
1) Developing the understanding of the meaning of point's
coordinates by learning:
-
Points
on an axis, horizontal or vertical;
-
Points
in the first quadrant;
-
Points
on the whole plane;
2) Manipulations with points’ coordinates by exploring:
-
Reflection
of points and figures with respect to any axis and to the
origin;
-
Translation
of points;
-
Defining x,y dependencies, represented the different forms of
equations;
3) Performing calculations of:
Special dynamic features of this software enable the student to
demonstrate his knowledge and understanding and to practice this
knowledge. Among these features are:
-
Free
points (points without names)
-
Defining
points without visualizing their location
-
Displaying the right answer or solution
The software provides detailed simple interface, in which parameters
and data are displayed, easily controlled and updated.
