In Touch with Geometry and Beyond – sketchometry the Tool

Carsten Miller
Universität Bayreuth

Abstract: Inquiry-based teaching and learning can be realized in many ways in geometry classes using the gesture-based software sketchometry. Students use tablets or smartphones as interactive drawing surfaces. Finger sketches are transformed into accurate constructions that can be modified. 

The workshop will introduce sketchometry, its intuitive user interface, and materials on basic constructions, triangle and quadrilateral geometry.

sketchometry is available free of charge directly in the browser or as an app for different operating systems: www.sketchometry.org. You are welcome to bring tablets or smartphones with the sketchometry app installed.
