Geogebra

Interesting sharing by Vincent Wei Sern Lew on the use of dynamic mathematics and geometry software, in particular in using Geogebra.

The tutorials are easy and intuitive enough for students to learn without taking up too much of curriculum time as the students can explore after the teacher demonstrate the use.

Another sharing by Wei Sern on using AR to learn Maths via geogebra.org. Rather cool and exciting.

Consider pedagogy of using AR to create learning experiences and using AR to help students link abstract algebra and functions to real world geometry and motion geometry
