ABSTRACT

Geometry activities for teachers of mathematics students will provide a transition from hands-on geoboards to developing abstract concepts using GeoGebra. GeoGebra, an emerging technology in Florida and the USA, will develop a deeper understanding to geometric concepts in the elementary (K-6) mathematics classrooms.
