Abstract :	[en] The aims of the project are on one hand the improvement of the children’s understanding of the elementary geometric concepts and on the other side a deeper insight in the bond of geometry and algebra. The study consists in a pre-/post-test scenario combined with observations of particularly interesting situations. All in all approximately 200 children of 9 years will participate; about half of them will follow a traditional paper/pencil geometry course while the others will be mixing experiences on the computer to the traditional ones. So far the existing Dynamic Geometry System GeoGebra has been adapted to the needs of the primary school through multiple observations of children working with the software. Besides it has been integrated into the TAO (Testing Assisté par Ordinateur – Computer-Assisted Testing) platform that will be used partially for the final test. In this presentation we will give a short overview of the project, explain the educational and technological concepts used and present first results of the study.
