Young Children's Understanding of Angle in a Dynamic Geometry Environment / Harpreet Kaur and Nathalie Sinclair.

This paper examines the effect of the use of dynamic geometry environments on children's thinking about angle. Using a driving angle model in Sketchpad, kindergarten children were able to develop an understanding of angle as "turn," that is, of angle as describing an amount of turn. G...

520 |a This paper examines the effect of the use of dynamic geometry environments on children's thinking about angle. Using a driving angle model in Sketchpad, kindergarten children were able to develop an understanding of angle as "turn," that is, of angle as describing an amount of turn. Gestures and motion played an important role in their developing conceptions. [For the complete proceedings, see ED584829.]
