What is Dynamic Geometry Software

Transformative Leadership and Change Initiative Implementation for P-12 and Higher Education
A type of computer program that allows users to create and explore geometric constructions and figures. Unlike static drawings or diagrams, DGS enables users to manipulate the shapes and observe how their properties and relationships change dynamically.

Abstract
The implementation of technology into the mathematics classroom results in increased academic achievement and a higher level of critical thinking skills in students in grades 9-12. Desmos, a rather new mathematics specific technology, provides students with multiple representations of mathematics, thus promoting a higher level of achievement amongst students. The aim of this chapter is to review the current literature regarding different technologies that support students learning of mathematics, as well as review the best practices for educators to implement the technology into the classroom. In addition, this chapter will compare and contrast a variety of technologies to discuss the best evidence-based practices for the teaching and learning of mathematics.
