National reports over the last decade have focused on the need for change in the way mathematics is taught at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Discovery-learning and the increased use of technology are two teaching strategies that have figured prominently in mathematics education reform efforts and are principal themes in the current standards for teaching mathematics at the secondary level.Geometry is an ideal course in which to model discovery-learning and the use of technology for future teachers is college geometry, since most mathematics education majors take it as a required course. There are few, if any, materials that successfully integrate these two themes as fundamental ways of investigating geometry.The development of a textbook and computer software materials that use discovery-learning and computer exploration for the teaching of geometry offers significant intellectual merit to this project. This materials developed from this project provides a national model for discovery-learning that integrates technology, so that mathematics education students will be well versed in both themes useful in investigating geometry The broader impact of " Exploring Geometry: Integrated Textbook and Software for College Geometry" is realized through the development, testing, and revision of innovative materials that targets college and university faculty who teach geometry and pre-service teachers. In the area of teacher preparation, there are recognized needs for strengthening both subject knowledge and pedagogical technique of future teachers so that they can assist students from diverse backgrounds. This project is one attempt at addressing these needs.

过去十年来的国家报告都侧重于改变中学和中学后数学教学方式的必要性。发现学习和增加技术的使用是数学教育改革工作中占据突出地位的两种教学策略，也是现行中学数学教学标准的主要主题。几何是一门理想的课程，可以为发现学习和未来教师使用技术建模，因为大多数数学教育专业都将其作为必修课程。有几个，如果有的话，材料，成功地整合这两个主题作为调查geometrical.The教科书和计算机软件材料，使用发现学习和计算机探索几何教学的发展提供了显着的智力价值，这个项目。从该项目开发的这些材料提供了一个国家模型，用于发现学习，整合了技术，使数学教育的学生将精通这两个主题，有助于研究几何。《大学几何教材与软件集成》是通过开发、测试、以及修订针对教授几何的学院和大学教师和职前教师的创新材料。在师资培训方面，人们认识到需要加强未来教师的学科知识和教学技巧，以便他们能够帮助来自不同背景的学生。该项目是满足这些需求的一种尝试。
