Geogebra as a Conceptual Tool for Modeling Real World Problems

Abstract

This chapter argues for a future-oriented approach to mathematical problem solving, one that draws on the investigation of real world modeling activities with the aid of GeoGebra, a conceptual tool that integrates dynamic geometry, algebra, and spreadsheet features. We give consideration to the?odels and?odeling Perspective (MMP) as a means for introducing modeling activities, and we address how GeoGebra enriches students’ exploration and understanding when solving such problems.
