INTRODUCING MATHOMAT
VIDEO EXPLORATIONS WITH MATHOMAT TEMPLATES
 |
|
Theorems and proofs explored in these videos were inspired by the wonderful ideas in Advanced Euclidean Geometry by Alfred Posamentier (published by Key College Publishing). Sadly, this book is out of print. Contact jlawton@wgaustralia.com.au if you would like to arrange a loan copy. |

MATHOMAT IN ACTION WITH STUDENTS
|
In this section watch Michelle du Toit in action with her students. Michelle runs the M Squared Mathematics tutoring business in Bloemfontein, as well as providing Mathomat implementation training for teachers, in South Africa.
Michelle’s student Tamika uses a kite drawn using her Mathomat to leverage her understanding of quadrilaterals. |
