Abstract: "The principal aim of this study is to find the weaknesses of secondary school students at geometry questions of measures ,
angles and shapes , transformations and construction and 3-D shapes. The year 7 curriculum contains 4 geometry topics out
of 17 mathematics topics. In addition to this , this study aims to find out the mistakes, 28 , 7th grade students made in the last
4 exams including two midterms and two final exams.To collect data, students were tested on two midterms and two final
exams using open-ended questions on geometry to analyze their problem solving skills and to test how much they acquired
during the year.Frequency tables were used in data analysis.To fulfill this aim in the first midterm exam the subject measures
were tested.In the first final exam which followed the first midterm exam in addition to measures and angles shapes skills
were also tested. Following these tests , in the second midterm we tested the students on transformation and construction. A
descriptive methodology and student interview were used in the study to analyze and interpret the results. The results from
this study revealed that 7th grade secondary school students have a number of misconceptions, lack of background
knowledge, reasoning and basic operation mistakes at the topics mentioned above."
A game where students can practise their coordinates by moving shapes to fit in the correct space and using rotation, translation and reflection.

Abstract:"This paper discusses the results of a pilot st
udy that explored how
prospective secondary
school teachers are shaped by learni
ng experiences during their undergraduate
mathematics education. The collabora
tive study, which was conducted by a
mathematician and a mathematics educator, dr
ew from the experiences of prospective
teachers in a non-traditional undergraduate ma
thematics program that makes extensive
use of technology. Analysis of data collect
ed from detailed questionnaires, journals, and
focus group discussions strongly suggests
that designing, implementing, and testing
Learning Objects promotes prospective teache
rs' learning of the mathematics needed for
teaching. Furthermore, the analysis shows t
hat prospective teachers' experiences of
ownership, engagement, and pride are key
to positive learning experiences. "
