The process of discovery of a theorem with Cabri 3D

Authors: Jean-Jacques Dahan

Affiliations: IREM of Toulouse

Keywords:

We will show all the stages of our experimental research to prove a

theorem about the quasi tessellation of a cylinder with equilateral

triangles. These stages are described with the theoretical frame I

have developed in my research work (Ph D thesis). We will

particularly show the levels of geometry during this research

(praxeologies G1, G2, G1 informatique and G2 informatique). We will

compare to what we can expect from students during their process of

discovery.
