Abstract

Construction is a fundamental activity in geometry class. The drafting of construction descriptions supports the mental operation and last but not least makes a contribution to math conception. However, construction descriptions are only effective if they are generated before the construction process. The CONwiB project was launched to maintain this order. The applications of this project ask the user to create a constrution description in first place. This description will be executed by the computer as a program.

In my talk, I will not only give a brief overview of the didactic potential of the applications but also talk about their development using javascript libraries jsxgraph.js and blockly.js.
