This week we have produced something using GeoGebra. In this way, we have chances for appliying basic properties of GeoGebra such as adding sliders, adding buttons, writing specific code and mathematical expression to work these sliders and buttons in an order. In this activity, Tom catches Jerry. It can be a good activity for problems.  The link for my specific work is below.   Link:  https://www.geogebra.org/classic/tmvana8n Some part of my activity:

Today I want to say important things about storytelling.  Storytelling, which is the art of telling from memory rather than reading stories, is one of the oldest of all art forms dating back to prehistoric times. Storytelling includes two elements which are selection and presentation. It is very important to choose a storytelling and presentation suitable for the lecture and the subject being taught that day.  Storytelling also supports language learning by enriching students' vocabulary and acquiring new language structures. Since mathematics is a language, it will be easier for students to understand the topics if we choose the way of storytelling while covering mathematics topics. Moreover, storytelling provides a motivating environment for many educational areas such as language learning, while reducing students' anxiety. This method that most teachers choose as a resource for teaching has many benefits. These benefits can be listed as; • To allow children to explore the...

 Algebra is a fundamental topic in mathematics and it can be taught by using some applications like GeoGebra.  Let’s look at GeoGebra application and some questions and try to understand how we can construct algebraically thinking.  Q6. Examining patterns and describing them in words occurs early in children’s school experiences, often as early as Pre-K. How can teachers build on patterning activities to foster students’ algebraic thinking? As a math teacher candidate, I would ask my students to create a letter and a fruit shape to choose. Therefore, I put these letters in one of the two baskets, and the fruits in the other, to make them establish algebraic relationships between them by adding or subtracting letters or fruits. Hence, we can construct and represent sequences in numerical way and geometrical way.  Open a new GeoGebra document with a Spreadsheet view:  Q8. Describe in your own words what each of the steps used to create the sequence and cumulative ...

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY  We, human being, are so vulnerable creatures so we need to wear clothes to be able to protect our body, have vehicles to make our lives easier, and we invent something by using technology. As we can understand that technology is crucial part of our lives which is also important in education. There are lots of inventions that are also help education.  For example, the Turing machine of Alan Turing.  Alan Turing was that father of computer science by finding cryptanalyses during the 2nd World war to be able to break German’s codes. The designed a machine that find every problem except halting problem by using 2 digits by giving for true value 1 and false value 0.  So, we need to create an area that we can combine mathematics with technology tools algebraically, geometrically and statistically.  In a brief way, we can describe algebra as the way of thinking and solving problems. It is not just solving equations or problems, it is all about h...

Technology as an Example Today, there are several definitions for technology but all of their stems include “experience”. Experience starts with beginning of Earth so, somebody or something come up to Earth for any reason they encounter with experiences. Experience is a term that covers most things from life, science, culture, etc. as well as technology is a core part of it. This means that we, as human beings, experiences something and according to these experiences we give a shape to development of technology to make our lives easier and livable. Therefore, we need to combine technological experiences with our values. Technological experience has 4 concepts these are  - Compositional - Sensual - Emotional  - Spatio-temporal Compositional means basically set of things that enable us to understand the small details of big picture for continuity.  Sensual can be described as to understand big picture’s design and texture by using feelings with our five senses organ...
