In my opinion, one of the most
exciting advances in mathematics education is the development
of dynamic geometric software that allows students to manipulate
constructions, perform explorations and make conjectures that
they subsequently attempt to prove. This project will demonstrate,
implicitly and explicitly, how such software can be used in the
classroom to enhance secondary mathematics instruction. The topic
I have chosen for this demonstration is the Law of Sines. I have
attempted to present material ranging from the basics to problems
which should be challenging for advanced students.
