Interactive Geometry iPhone App

Video and News
Apollonius by Adolfo Rodriguez is an Interactive Geometry Software (IGS, or Dynamic Geometry Environment, DGE) for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It allows you to make geometric constructions (such as those made using a compass and straightedge/ruler) and move their parts smoothly using the device's touchscreen.
Video: the first construction is a regular hexagon given its center and one vertex. The second construction is the nine-point circle.

Adding technology to geometry class improves opportunities to learn

A new study co-written by a University of Illinois expert in math education suggests that incorporating technology in high school-level geometry classes not only makes the teaching of concepts such as congruency easier, it also empowers students to discover other geometric relationships they wouldn’t ordinarily uncover when more traditional methods of instruction were used.

Bottema's Theorem: Triangle and Squares

Dynamic Geometry Software. Step-by-Step construction, Manipulation, and animation
Draw squares ABDE and BCFG on sides AB and BC of a triangle ABC. Then the midpoint M of EF is independent of B and the triangle AMC is an isosceles right triangle.

Miquel Pentagram, Dynamic Geometry

Requires Java 1.3 or higher and Java enable browser
Take a pentagram ABCDE forming a convex pentagon FGHIJ and triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Construct the circumcircles of triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Then the five new points, K,L,M,N,P resulting from the intersection of two consecutive circumferences are concyclic (lie on the same circumference).

Monge & d'Alembert Three Circles Theorem II

Dynamic Geometry
Given three disjoint circles A, B and C of unequal radii situated entirely in each other's exterior, the common internal tangents of circles A and C meet in Y, the common internal tangents of circles A and B meet in Z and the common external tangents of circles B and C meet in X. Then the points X, Y and Z are collinear.

Menelaus' Theorem Proof

Proposition
Let ABC be a triangle and MEN a line that transverse (crosses) the lines AB, BC, and AC respectively. Prove that (AM.BE.CN)/(MB.EC.NA)=-1. The converse also holds.
