The Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) along with technologies such as graphing calculators and computer algebra systems are used in mathematics lessons for the purposes of visualization and investigation. Educators understand that technology, especially in a mathematics classroom, provides students with opportunities to visualize concepts, and allow more time for inquiry by reducing the time spent in complex computational tasks. Therefore, "it is in the best interest of both today’s young people and the nation as a whole that all students have an opportunity to master the elements of technology they will need to have a productive future". Instructional technology can be helpful for students’ performance in a society saturated with opportunities for problem solving, communicating, and analyzing. Furthermore, an effective implementation can help students of varying abilities learn mathematics at a deeper level by helping students externalize both procedures and connections. Phyllotaxis: Helical arrangement of leaves and staggered dots on shells-two corresponding patternsĭocuments such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Technology Principle and the International Society for Technology in Education’s Standards for Students portray a unified vision of technology, pointing out its importance in meeting the needs of students.For more background information, please visit some of the following external sites: We introduce the construction of a Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) program that provides the graphical display of spiral growths observed in nature among many plants such as pinecones, cauliflowers, and sunflowers.
