Using Euclidean Reality software and Geometer Sketch Pad to teach mathematics using ICT

Euclidean reality software and geometer sketchpad can be used to teach mathematics using ICT.
The properties of a straight line, a triangle, a rectangle and a circle can be taught using these two software. Some of the examples are in the activities below:

Activity 1a:
1. Draw a straight line and label the points A, B and C.
2. Measure the length of AB, AC and BC.
3. Measure the angle of ABC.



Activity 1b:
1. Draw the line AB, then draw the line BC.
2. Label the points and measure AB, and BC.
3. Measure the angle ABC.



Activity 2:
1. Draw the triangle ABC and label the points.
2. Measure the length AB, BC and AC.
3. Measure the angle of ABC, BCA and CAB.
4. Add all the 3 angles in triangle ABC.



Activity 3:
1. Draw and equilateral triangle and label the points A,B and C.
2. Measure the length of each side.
3. Measure all the angles and add them together.



Activity 4:
Draw a rectangle and label the points A,B, C and D.
Measure all the sides.




Activity 5a:
1. Draw a circle
2. Measure the radius and find the diameter.
3. Calculate the circumference and area of the circle.



Activity 5b:
Similarly, we can use Geometer sketch pad for circle.
We can use the auto-calculate feature on the software to measure radius, circumference and area of the circle.
