Rotated figure guided discovery learning (RFGDL) is a pedagogical method that uses dynamic geometry software (DGS) to guide students in discovering mathematical concepts.In RFGDL, students are given a figure that they can rotate and manipulate using DGS.As they manipulate the figure, they are prompted to make observations and conjectures about the mathematical properties of the figure.These observations and conjectures can then be used to guide the development of formal mathematical proofs.
BenefitsRFGDL has been shown to have several benefits over traditional methods of mathematics instruction.These benefits include:
