Computer Mediated Learning: An Example of an Approach.

There are several possible approaches in which dynamic computerized environments play a significant, and possibly unique, role in supporting innovative learning trajectories in mathematics in general, and particularly in geometry. These approaches are influenced by the way one views mathematics and mathematical activity. In this paper we briefly describe an approach based on a problem situation and our experiences using it with students and teachers. This leads naturally to a discussion of some of the ways in which parts of the mathematics curriculum, classroom practice, and student learning may differ from the traditional approach.
