A SPECIAL SEMINAR ON DIDACTICAL MATHEMATICS
August 12-14 and 19-20, 2002

Time-table

Front page of the online course material

Dr. Ehmke's suggestion for the program, for us to comment:

Module 1:
Introduction (Some first Examples with Geometria, Software Requirements, Developing your own Examples, Exercises)

Module 2:
Response Analysis (Introduction, Geometria-Examples with response analysis, Defining a response analysis with GeoScript, Exercises)

Module 3:
Introduction to JavaScript (What is JavaScript?, Embedding JavaScript into a HTML-page, Event-Handling, Functions, Object hierarchy, Working with Radiobuttons, Windows, Exercises)

Module 4:
JavaScript-Interface in Geometria (Calling a JavaScript-function from GeoScript, Defining a JavaScript function in a HTML document, Getting values from Geometria to JavaScript, Interaction with HTML-elements, Connection between Applets, Exercises)

Module 5:
Design & Colors (GeoStyle-File, Color-Properties, Including Graphics)

Module 6:
Special Functions in Geometria (Animations, hiding objects, Working with GeoScript-functions)

Module 7:
Java-Interface in GeoScript (Getting startet with Java, writing and compiling own Java functions for GeoScript)

Of course, I will give always some exercises for training, but I think, it would be best, if every student develops some sketches on his own.
Shall we focus on a special theme like discrete math?
