Abstract

We consider the teaching of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries to students enrolled in a university program in Mathematics Education. We point out several problems encountered by students during this teaching which provide information about student’s knowledge in geometry. We then propose a partial solution to these problems by using the CABRI-Géomètre software to illustrate several properties of hyperbolic geometry. Finally, we discuss the interest of this type hyperbolic geometry software and we propose desirable features for such a software.
