| Abstract: | Dynamic geometry software (DGS) is often used for development of interactive teaching materials in many subjects, not only mathematics. These interactive materials can contain hundreds of elements in order to represent complex objects, and script programs to control their behavior. We propose an approach for creating, importing and using components in the SLGeometry DGS, which can help solve the problem of overcomplicated geometric drawings. This approach benefits the teachers who can use ready-made components to develop their materials. We present an overview of our components, and a demonstration of their use. An experiment was conducted with a group of mathematics students in order to test our software in practice. The results of the experiment are also presented. |
