Özet: The Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) is interactive computer software that can be used to help students visualizing mathematical concepts and to make these concepts be learnt by students in a meaningful way. The GSP give a chance to have guidance for teachers for student-centered approach in education and at the same time it provides student to explore geometrical shapes easily. The purpose of this study is to prepare a computer-based instructional material that can be used to help the teachers explore, gain and visualize the geometric concepts with learning and teaching process in the GSP learning environment. It facilitates to integrate the technology into geometry courses. The Sketch pad activities are configured through the gains in the secondary school mathematics program prepared by National Ministry of Education in Turkey. Preparation of these activities in GSP environment is explained using Captivate 5 program step by step. It is hoped that this teaching material will help teachers provide learning opportunities for GSP at their own learning speed which are independent for time and space. It will also encourage teachers to use technology in geometry teaching. Besides, it is expected to help teachers to prepare own Sketchpad activities which configured by GSP.
