This book contains adventures in digital geometry for the minds of students in pods and in home-schooling. Learning about geometry has inspired many of the most important thinkers for centuries and helped them to make sense of the world. This sequence of 50 hands-on challenges will step learners through the most exciting experiences of geometry, from basic points, lines and circles to construction and proof. The book is structured as a game: a series of thought-provoking challenges that provides a stimulating experience of collaboration with pod-mates and a fun introduction to geometry.
Online and pod-based education opens new opportunities for highly motivating and effective approaches. However, success requires innovative and well-designed tasks. The present "Dynamic Geometry Game for Pods" translates the learning of traditional Euclidean geometry into an engaging, stimulating and collaborative experience for online pods of students or for individual home-schooled students.
Dynamic geometry is a recent transformation of classic geometry into an online app, which allows one to explore geometric figures by dragging them around the computer screen. Students can construct their own figures and receive immediate automated feedback about the results. This can provide a lively, hands-on experience of geometry.
