Papers

Chris Tisdell has written three papers related to the development of the TGT in Mathomat, as well as to its use in geometry teaching using the concept of geometography. This latest paper, jointly submitted with John Lawton, is to be presented at ICME15 in July 2024. John Lawton has written a paper which builds on his research into the conceptualisation of angle in geometry education. This will also be presented at ICME15. These papers can all be accessed in the links below.
