Main parts
• Visualization in the education
• Graph in GeoGebra
• Algorithm in the graph theory
Visualization

• method for the visual interpretation of data,
  which uses the advantages of human
  perception in the analysis,
• allows students to understand the presented
  problem better and more quickly,
• provides an option to highlight or suppress
  some important features.
Effective visualization

• abstract and emphasize the important aspects of
  the program in the moment,
• provides an option to highlight or suppress some
  important features,
• interactive environment, clear, economical and
  attractive design
Visualization programs

• to apply curriculum in new situations,
• promoting activity of students ,
• develop creativity, logical and algorithmic
  thinking of students ,
• to learn to give information to the
  interrelations,
• to understand the presented problem better
  and more quickly.
Teaching mathematics and
           GeoGebra
Many educators say that the main goals of
  teaching mathematics are:
• the development of logical thinking
• the development of creative thinking
• the development of an autonomous person
• the development of the ability to solve
  problems.
GeoGebra allows to implement these goals in
  mathematics education.
