Creativity and expertise: The chicken or the egg? Discovering properties of geometry figures in DGE

Résumé

The relationship between mathematical creativity, knowledge and expertise is a phenomenon which can be seen as a " creativity-knowledge dilemma " : Having knowledge is a necessary condition for a person to be creative; on the other hand, creativity is an important condition for knowledge construction. In this paper, we analyze mathematical activity that is directed at both the development of problem solving expertise and creativity in geometry. Creativity in this study is connected to the discovery of new properties of the given geometrical objects through investigation in DGE. We introduce a framework for the analysis of the complexity of a discovered property. Based on the analysis performed, we hypothesize that (1) discovery skills can be developed in people with different levels of problem solving expertise while the range of this development depends on the expertise; (2) the discovery process is rooted in the problem solving expertise of a person.
