The New Tools of Cabri 3D Version 2 : a New Window for a Mechanistic Approach of the Teaching of Calculusjjdahan@wanadoo.fr IREM of Toulouse and IAM of Grenoble Colette LABORDE
Abstract With original examples, we will discover how the new tools of the version
2 of Cabri 3D, arc, trace, measurement tools, calculator how to illustrate
in a brand new way the notion of function: How to construct an helix,
a cycloid as the trace of a point of a wheel. How to introduce trigonometric
functions (sine, cosine) How to illustrate new investigations about the
angles of the polygons obtained in cutting any polyhedron. How to conjecture
the formula giving the area or the volume of any polyhedron. |
