Abstract
Dynamic geometry software seems to offer new approaches to the teaching and learning of geometry. Interest has been particularly intense in Britain where geometry has almost disappeared from the curriculum. In this paper we draw on our experiences of using Logo with children and adult students as a way of thinking about the design of geometrical activities for young children who lack cultural support in this domain and who are at early stages of conceptual development. We explore how the nature of Cabri Geometry activities, in conjunction with previous connected experiences, may influence the construction of meaning for geometric construction.
