Abstract
Although research into the use of mathematics apps in classrooms is becoming more common, robust research into Geometry apps is still in its infancy. Such research is particularly necessary in the case of Geometry apps where accurate and dynamic representations are critical in enhancing mathematical learning. This chapter begins to address the lack of research in this domain and presents findings from a qualitative and quantitative analysis of 53 Geometry apps initially selected from a broader range of apps available at the iTunes App Store. These findings indicate that the majority of the 53 apps were limited in their ability to assist students in developing Geometrical conceptual understanding. While this is of concern to educators there are, however, a small number of Geometry apps which would be most useful in teaching Geometry to primary aged students.
