Soap Films and GeoGebra in the Study of Fermat and Steiner Points
Alfinio Flores; Jungeun Park
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology Vol. 49, No. 4 (2018) pp. 554–570
We discuss how mathematics and secondary mathematics education majors developed an understanding of Fermat points for the triangle as well as Steiner points for the square and regular pentagon, and also of soap film configurations between parallel...

The Kinematic Method and the Geometer's Sketchpad in Geometrical Problems
Alfinio Flores
International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning Vol. 3, No. 1 (1998) pp. 1–12
The capacity of the "Geometer's Sketchpad" to trace the path of points by drawing the position of the point at different times provides a powerful tool to help see how velocities are related. Provides a snapshot of the process, along with the traces....
