CABRI FOR THE CLASSROOM

During the spring semester at Florida Atlantic University MST program, we experimented with the dynamic geometry software package Cabri, and found many interesting classroom applications. We were not only interested in examples of its application to Euclidean Geometry, but also to Calculus, Art and Science. The levels of difficulty of the exercises we developed apply to middle school, high school, and college. Many of the examples we were working on can already be found on the Web. In this page, we provide examples of problems that can be visually represented and explored using Cabri Geometry and not easily found on the Internet.

The result of our exercises is published in a few formats.

  • The icon indicates a Java applet created with Cabri version II. To see the figure, double-click on the rightmost icon at the bottom of the tool bar.
  • The icon indicates a Microsoft Word file written by our students (see authors at the bottom of the page) describing how the figure was created using Cabri II Plus.
  • The icon indicates a Cabri II Plus figure. To see this figure you have to have Cabri II Plus on your computer.

An evaluation version of Cabri II Plus and manuals can be downloaded from the Cabri Log site. We also provide links to other Web sites that we found informative and useful while developing our Cabri figures.
