Using Action-Consequence-Reflection GeoGebra Activities To Make Math Stick

Karen D. Campe — Independent Consultant (formerly Instructor, Education Studies Program, Yale University)

Abstract

In this article, the author discusses the Action-Consequence-Reflection cycle for promoting conceptual understanding with technology in the mathematics classroom, along with some cognitive science research support. Several Geogebra activities are presented that capitalize on this process, covering common curricular topics in secondary math. Throughout, the author shares strategies for classroom implementation that encourage reflection and enhance student learning.

Keywords: GeoGebra, technology, algebra, geometry, precalculus, conceptual understanding
