Few PossibilitiesThere could be few possibilitiesIn a substitution method teacher replaces some of the old technologies with ICT. For instance: the teacher may use Power-Point for her lectures. Or she may allow her student to send their homework via e-mail to her. She even could present the tests electronically.

But what is this transformational approach?

The algebraic representation corresponds to the textual component, whereas the graphical representation adds the visual component mentioned in this principle. Secondly, a dynamic construction protocol can be opened and placed next to the graphics window. It contains the name, denition, command, and algebraic expression for each object used in the construction and provides a navigation bar to go through the construction process step-by-step. The current construction step is highlighted within the construction protocol while the corresponding object appears in the graphics window of GeoGebra.

Secondly, labels of objects can either consist of the name, the algebraic value, or both the name and value of the object. Since the label follows the movements of its object, the graphical and algebraic representation of the object always stay close to each other.

Since the label follows the movements of its object, the graphical and algebraic representation of the object always stay close to each other. Thirdly, both representations of an object are displayed in the same color, which can easily be modied by the user to distinguish between objects of the same type. This makes it easier to nd corresponding representations in the algebra window, graphics window, as well as in the dynamic construction protocol.Dr. P. K. Chaurasia
