From Alberti and the Renaissance to modern times on the wings of dynamic geometry program Sketchpad

Today there are two crucial issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics/ geometry. First: Are the contents of geometry taught in elementary and/ or secondary school is sufficient for understanding and teaching of today's real needs and problems? And the second is whether it needs deep reform of mathematics curriculum? The answer to both questions is, paradoxically, yes! I This work demonstrates how it is possible to present/ visualize the three-dimensional space with the knowledge of the three fundamental theorems of elementary geometry and Alberti's classic perspective construction. Classic visualization themes will become more dynamic through the use of a dynamic geometry program Sketchpad 5.03 HR as a drawing tool, and will thus contribute to the modernization of teaching and learning geometry.
