Reflection :
In today's educational system, technology is an important contributing factor to student learning. Geogebra is a free, interactive technology program that students can use in order to enhance their learning. Teachers can download this program onto their school computers, and apply aspects of it to their classroom lessons. Students with internet access at home can also download this program for further use. In this particular lesson, students will be able to utilize Geogebra in order to compare areas of squares formed on the sides of a right triangle. To construct this figure, we first construct a right triangle, and form three squares, each of which contains one of the three sides as shown below. Then we observe the relationship among the areas of the squares.
