Mapping Free Educational Software Used to Develop Geometric Reasoning

The use of educational software as a teaching resource is becoming more common. However, teachers still need to choose which software best meets needs of their students. The goal of this study was to map free educational software regarding space and shape content for mathematics education. The study was conducted with public elementary teachers (grades 6-9). Of the thirty-three software titles, 55% could contribute to space and shape content. Thirty percent of the software simultaneously developed geometric, numeric and algebraic reasoning as well as metric and proportional reasoning.
