Australian Mathematics Teacher (1999)

Abstract
This paper briefly describes the path along which current geometry curriculum has come and provides insight into the direction that it may be heading. Software has the potential to take student and teacher out of the world of pen and paper deduction into the universe of interactive investigation. By posing, investigating and extending problem situations, an environment can be established in which students and teachers can recognise the power and usefulness of mathematics.
