--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------
The paper introduces the TSEWG model which can be used to guide students how to solve mathematics
exercises in the classroom with the help of the dynamic software GeoGebra. From field test of the model, we
found that two remarkable utilities of TSEWG were: (1) to help students predict the answer of an exercise; (2)
to help students discover strategies for solving the exercise. Therefore, teaching mathematics with TSEWG can
improve the quality of mathematics education in secondary schools.

I. INTRODUCTION
Van Voorst (1999) reported that technology was “useful in helping students view mathematics less
passively, as a set of procedures, and more actively as reasoning, exploring, solving problems, generating new
information, and asking new questions” [1]. Because of the above strong points of educational technology, in
Vietnam, integrating technology into teaching mathematics has been encouraged by Ministry of Education and
Training for a long time ago. As teachers of mathematics, we have had some experiences of teaching
mathematics with technology. In the paper, we introduce the “TSEWG” model, which could be used to teach
mathematics exercises in the classroom, together with the results of field test for verifying this model.
II. GEOGEBRA – A DYNAMIC MATHEMATICS SOFTWARE
GeoGebra- A dynamic mathematics software
Characteristic of GeoGebra
GeoGebra is a dynamic mathematics software, it “combines dynamic geometry, algebra, calculus, and
spreadsheet features (which other packages treat separately) into a single easy-to-use package”. [2]
For teacher
Thanks to its dynamic property, Loc (2014) believe that it is helpful for us to teach or learn all disciplines of
mathematics in secondary schools; it allows us to learn mathematics through experiments, or to be able to solve
mathematics problem from conjectures. These strong points makes it comfortable for learning and teaching
mathematics in Vietnamese secondary schools. Teachers and students can use the software for teaching and
learning all topics of mathematics in schools. [3], [4].
For the students,
GeoGebra can help students grasp experimental, problem-oriented and research-oriented learning of mathematics, both in
the classroom and at home. Students can simultaneously use a computer algebra system and an interactive geometric system;
by doing this, they can increase their cognitive abilities in the best way (Diković , 2009) [5].
Solving problem with GeoGebra
Applying dynamic property of GeoGebra, in [3], Loc (2014) developed the model “SPWG” (Solving Problem
With GeoGebra), which includes the following steps (see Figure 1).
 “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students…
www.theijes.com The IJES Page 84
Step 1: Use GeoGebra as a tool to represent the problem;
Step 2: Do experiment with GeoGebra by using dynamic property, tools for computation, spreadsheets…;
Step 3: Observe data to find out relationships among observed data;
Step 4: Formulate conjectures (make prediction);
Step 5: Verify the conjectures;
Step 6: Check the solution, generalize or extend the problem.
The model was used successfully in guiding students to solve mathematics problems by Loc [3], Loc & Triet [4], [6].
III. A MODEL FOR TEACHING EXERCISE SOLVING IN THE CLASSROOM
On the basis of SPWG, we developed the “TSEWG” model for teaching exercise solving in the classroom with
the help of GeoGebra as follows (see Table 1):
Table 1: “TSEWG” model for teaching exercises in classroom with GeoGebra
Represent the problem with GeoGebra
Do experiment with GeoGebra
- Observe data: numerial data, "dynamic"
figures
- Find out relationships among observed
data
Make conjectures
Verify the conjectures
Accepted (proof)
Generalize Extend
Rejected (proof, or
using GeoGebra to give
a counterexample,...)
Figure 1: Model “SPWG” - Problem solving with GeoGebra (Loc, 2014) [3]
Step 1. Students analyze to understand the exercise;
Step 2. Teacher uses GeoGebra to represent the exercise and uses dynamic function and other
tools of GeoGebra to ask students to investigate geometrical objects and collect data
related;
Step 3. Students make predictions on the answer to the exercise;
Step 4. Students to find out the strategies for solving or verifying the predictions;
Step 5. Students write the solution to the exercise;
Step 6. Teacher and his students check the solution and generalize the exercise.
 “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students…

In order to distinguish the SPWG model and TSEWG model, we had conceptions on two concepts of exercise
and problem as follows:
- Exercise is a task which is designed to help student learn a particular skill.
- Problem is a task or a situation difficult to resolve.
Therefore, the SPWG model can be used to find out how to solve mathematics situations at highly difficult level
with assistance of GeoGebra . For TSEWG model, the teacher can apply it to guide students to solve exercises
in the classroom at aim of training a certain mathematics skill for his students.
IV. FIELD TEST OF “TSEWG” MODEL
In order to examine actual responses of students to the TSEWG model, we carried out field test for the model in
academic year 2014 -2015.
Field – test class: Class 10A1 of 31 students which belongs to Tay Do Secondary School, Long My district,
Hau Giang province, Vietnam. These students already have learned theory on the equation of a circle according
to geometry curriculum for 10th
grade students in secondary schools in Vietnam.
Exercises used:
Exercise 1: In plane Oxy, given (Cm): 05y)1m2(4mx2yx 22
 .
1. Find m so that (Cm) is a circle.
2. Find the set of the centers of circles (Cm) when m changes.
Exercise 2: Write the equation of a circle (C) in each below case:
1. (C ) passes through A(3; 1) and its center is I(1; 3).
2. (C ) is tangent to the line 2x + y – 1 = 0 and its center is I(-2;0).
Exercise 3: Give the circle (C): .25)1y()2x( 22

1.Write the equation of the tangent to (C) parallel to the line .02y12x5:d1 
2.Write the equation of the tangent to (C) perpendicular to the line .07y4x3:d2 
The above three exercises assigned to students is to help them learn skills as follows:
- Determine conditions so that a given equation is a equation of a circle;
- Write the equation of a circle with some given conditions;
- Write the tangent to a circle with some given conditions.
Handout: In teaching process of field test, we assess the ability to discover and apply knowledge of students
through handouts generated for 31 students following step by step teaching process in classroom.
V. THE RESULTS OF THE FIELD TEST

Figure 3: GeoGebra presentation for the Question 2 of Exercise 2
Figure 4: GeoGebra presentation for the Question 1 Exercise 3
After applying the model to guide students to solve the above three exercises (Figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate
teaching process in the classroom), we obtained the results of predictions on the answers and suggestions on
strategies for solving the exercises, which were made by students , as follows:
Results of predictions on the answers to the exercises
Table 2 showed that the majority of students made correct predictions as a result of the support of software
GeoGebra. However, there were some mistakes of students when stated predictions. For example, see figure 5,
some students predicted that (Cm) was a circle if only if m ≤ 0.6 or m ≥ 1 (Question 1 of Exercise 1).
Figure 5: The error of a student in doing exercise 1
When asked why m could equal - 0.6 or m =1. Their answer was that “If m obtains one of the above values,
then (Cm) is still a circle with its radius equal to 0”. The teacher adjusted: “According to theory on circle, we
already know, a circle's radius is positive number ( 0cbaR 22
 )”. Due to mistakes of students, the
teacher had opportunities to consolidate knowledge and prevent mistakes of students.

VI. CONCLUSION
Thanks to multi-functional property of GeoGebra, we can use this software to increase the
effectiveness of teaching mathematics in classroom. In particularly, teaching mathematics with TSEWG model
can help students carry out mathematics solving activities in an active way. They have many opportunities to do
some jobs of a mathematician such as making and verifying prediction. Gradually, the mathematical abilities of
them will be developed better.

“TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students How to Solve Exercises with GeoGebra Software in the Classroom

  • 1. The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES) || Volume || 4 || Issue || 5 || Pages || PP.83-87 || 2015 || ISSN (e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN (p): 2319 – 1805 www.theijes.com The IJES Page 83  “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students How to Solve Exercises with GeoGebra Software in the Classroom 1 Nguyen Phu Loc, 2 Nguyen Thien Tuan 1 Associate Professor in Mathematics Education, School of Education, Can Tho University, Vietnam 2 Master Student in Mathematics Education (2013-2015), Can Tho University, Vietnam --------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------- The paper introduces the TSEWG model which can be used to guide students how to solve mathematics exercises in the classroom with the help of the dynamic software GeoGebra. From field test of the model, we found that two remarkable utilities of TSEWG were: (1) to help students predict the answer of an exercise; (2) to help students discover strategies for solving the exercise. Therefore, teaching mathematics with TSEWG can improve the quality of mathematics education in secondary schools. Keywords - ICT, mathematics education, SPWG model, teaching with GeoGebra, TSEWG model ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 02-May-2015 Date of Accepted: 15-May-2015 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Van Voorst (1999) reported that technology was “useful in helping students view mathematics less passively, as a set of procedures, and more actively as reasoning, exploring, solving problems, generating new information, and asking new questions” [1]. Because of the above strong points of educational technology, in Vietnam, integrating technology into teaching mathematics has been encouraged by Ministry of Education and Training for a long time ago. As teachers of mathematics, we have had some experiences of teaching mathematics with technology. In the paper, we introduce the “TSEWG” model, which could be used to teach mathematics exercises in the classroom, together with the results of field test for verifying this model. II. GEOGEBRA – A DYNAMIC MATHEMATICS SOFTWARE GeoGebra- A dynamic mathematics software Characteristic of GeoGebra GeoGebra is a dynamic mathematics software, it “combines dynamic geometry, algebra, calculus, and spreadsheet features (which other packages treat separately) into a single easy-to-use package”. [2] For teacher Thanks to its dynamic property, Loc (2014) believe that it is helpful for us to teach or learn all disciplines of mathematics in secondary schools; it allows us to learn mathematics through experiments, or to be able to solve mathematics problem from conjectures. These strong points makes it comfortable for learning and teaching mathematics in Vietnamese secondary schools. Teachers and students can use the software for teaching and learning all topics of mathematics in schools. [3], [4]. For the students, GeoGebra can help students grasp experimental, problem-oriented and research-oriented learning of mathematics, both in the classroom and at home. Students can simultaneously use a computer algebra system and an interactive geometric system; by doing this, they can increase their cognitive abilities in the best way (Diković , 2009) [5]. Solving problem with GeoGebra Applying dynamic property of GeoGebra, in [3], Loc (2014) developed the model “SPWG” (Solving Problem With GeoGebra), which includes the following steps (see Figure 1).
  • 2.  “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students… www.theijes.com The IJES Page 84 Step 1: Use GeoGebra as a tool to represent the problem; Step 2: Do experiment with GeoGebra by using dynamic property, tools for computation, spreadsheets…; Step 3: Observe data to find out relationships among observed data; Step 4: Formulate conjectures (make prediction); Step 5: Verify the conjectures; Step 6: Check the solution, generalize or extend the problem. The model was used successfully in guiding students to solve mathematics problems by Loc [3], Loc & Triet [4], [6]. III. A MODEL FOR TEACHING EXERCISE SOLVING IN THE CLASSROOM On the basis of SPWG, we developed the “TSEWG” model for teaching exercise solving in the classroom with the help of GeoGebra as follows (see Table 1): Table 1: “TSEWG” model for teaching exercises in classroom with GeoGebra Represent the problem with GeoGebra Do experiment with GeoGebra - Observe data: numerial data, "dynamic" figures - Find out relationships among observed data Make conjectures Verify the conjectures Accepted (proof) Generalize Extend Rejected (proof, or using GeoGebra to give a counterexample,...) Figure 1: Model “SPWG” - Problem solving with GeoGebra (Loc, 2014) [3] Step 1. Students analyze to understand the exercise; Step 2. Teacher uses GeoGebra to represent the exercise and uses dynamic function and other tools of GeoGebra to ask students to investigate geometrical objects and collect data related; Step 3. Students make predictions on the answer to the exercise; Step 4. Students to find out the strategies for solving or verifying the predictions; Step 5. Students write the solution to the exercise; Step 6. Teacher and his students check the solution and generalize the exercise.
  • 3.  “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students… www.theijes.com The IJES Page 85 In order to distinguish the SPWG model and TSEWG model, we had conceptions on two concepts of exercise and problem as follows: - Exercise is a task which is designed to help student learn a particular skill. - Problem is a task or a situation difficult to resolve. Therefore, the SPWG model can be used to find out how to solve mathematics situations at highly difficult level with assistance of GeoGebra . For TSEWG model, the teacher can apply it to guide students to solve exercises in the classroom at aim of training a certain mathematics skill for his students. IV. FIELD TEST OF “TSEWG” MODEL In order to examine actual responses of students to the TSEWG model, we carried out field test for the model in academic year 2014 -2015. Field – test class: Class 10A1 of 31 students which belongs to Tay Do Secondary School, Long My district, Hau Giang province, Vietnam. These students already have learned theory on the equation of a circle according to geometry curriculum for 10th grade students in secondary schools in Vietnam. Exercises used: Exercise 1: In plane Oxy, given (Cm): 05y)1m2(4mx2yx 22  . 1. Find m so that (Cm) is a circle. 2. Find the set of the centers of circles (Cm) when m changes. Exercise 2: Write the equation of a circle (C) in each below case: 1. (C ) passes through A(3; 1) and its center is I(1; 3). 2. (C ) is tangent to the line 2x + y – 1 = 0 and its center is I(-2;0). Exercise 3: Give the circle (C): .25)1y()2x( 22  1.Write the equation of the tangent to (C) parallel to the line .02y12x5:d1  2.Write the equation of the tangent to (C) perpendicular to the line .07y4x3:d2  The above three exercises assigned to students is to help them learn skills as follows: - Determine conditions so that a given equation is a equation of a circle; - Write the equation of a circle with some given conditions; - Write the tangent to a circle with some given conditions. Handout: In teaching process of field test, we assess the ability to discover and apply knowledge of students through handouts generated for 31 students following step by step teaching process in classroom. V. THE RESULTS OF THE FIELD TEST Figure 2: GeoGebra presentation for the Question 1 of Exercise 1
  • 4.  “TSEWG” Model for Teaching Students… www.theijes.com The IJES Page 86 Figure 3: GeoGebra presentation for the Question 2 of Exercise 2 Figure 4: GeoGebra presentation for the Question 1 Exercise 3 After applying the model to guide students to solve the above three exercises (Figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate teaching process in the classroom), we obtained the results of predictions on the answers and suggestions on strategies for solving the exercises, which were made by students , as follows: Results of predictions on the answers to the exercises Table 2 showed that the majority of students made correct predictions as a result of the support of software GeoGebra. However, there were some mistakes of students when stated predictions. For example, see figure 5, some students predicted that (Cm) was a circle if only if m ≤ 0.6 or m ≥ 1 (Question 1 of Exercise 1). Figure 5: The error of a student in doing exercise 1 When asked why m could equal - 0.6 or m =1. Their answer was that “If m obtains one of the above values, then (Cm) is still a circle with its radius equal to 0”. The teacher adjusted: “According to theory on circle, we already know, a circle's radius is positive number ( 0cbaR 22  )”. Due to mistakes of students, the teacher had opportunities to consolidate knowledge and prevent mistakes of students.

But thereafter, capacity of building exercise – solving strategies of students with the support of GeoGebra gradually became better. Table 3: Results of strategies for solving the exercises Strategy Right Wrong No idea Strategy for solving (Question 1 of Exercise 1) 15 (48.39%) 12 (38.71%) 4 (12.9%) Strategy for solving (Question 2 of Exercise 1) 16 (51.61%) 12 (38.71%) 3 (9.68%) Strategy for solving (Question 1 of Exercise 2) 18 (58.06%) 10 (32.26%) 3 (9.68%) Strategy for solving (Question 2 of Exercise 2) 21 (67.74%) 8 (25.81%) 2(6.45%) Strategy for solving (Question 1 of Exercise 3) 23 (74.19%) 8 (25.81%) 0 (0%) Strategy for solving (Question 2 of Exercise 3) 26 (83.87%) 5 (16.13%) 0 (0%) VI. CONCLUSION Thanks to multi-functional property of GeoGebra, we can use this software to increase the effectiveness of teaching mathematics in classroom. In particularly, teaching mathematics with TSEWG model can help students carry out mathematics solving activities in an active way. They have many opportunities to do some jobs of a mathematician such as making and verifying prediction. Gradually, the mathematical abilities of them will be developed better.
