- Abstract
Interactive books are one of the current digital education and training materials on the website prepared by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of National Education, General Directorate of Secondary Education. The purpose of this research was to examine the learning opportunities that the dynamic geometry software tasks in the interactive mathematics textbook of the triangle unit offer students. Learning opportunities in the 10 dynamic geometry software tasks in the triangles unit (ninth grade) were analyzed by considering the coordination of mathematical depth and technological actions of prompts, the feedback provided on the screen for the expected result in the task, and the place of the task in the book content. Prompts classified as basic and sub were analyzed using Trocki and Hollebrands' (2018) Dynamic Geometry Task Analysis Framework. The findings showed that prompts in the tasks were insufficient to coordinate mathematical depth with technological actions. The mathematical ideas expected to be gained by completing the tasks were often presented on the screen, which can be viewed directly or by clicking the checkbox. Tasks were usually included in the book's content after definitions, explanations, or examples of related mathematical ideas. Implications were made for developing the tasks to make the mathematical concepts and relationships meaningful for students.
