Description
Summary:Nowadays the inclusion of CAD software is well-established in Geometry teaching within the field of Architectural Graphic Expression. In this environment, we suggest the introduction of visual programming software tools which would allow us to focus on the logical relationship between geometric elements and on the generation processes of curves and surfaces. The aim is to explore the link between the possibilities offered by these tools and the curriculum contents. We present some examples developed as complementary materials to significant topics usually covered in a Geometry course and we discuss some advantages and difficulties found after students test them during an ordinary course.
