Résumé

Touchscreen dynamic environments user interfaces employ a specialized interaction model on screen. In this paper, we analyse students' manipulation to explore and justify their geometrical reasoning on a free online touch device: the Geometric Constructer (GC) software. We discuss data from a teaching experiment with Italian High School students. The experiment was videotaped. Based on this we observe two domains (constructive and rela-tional) regarding the development of geometrical thinking on GC. Students' manipulation on constructive domain is basically done to make construction and it contributes to exploration and to arise conjecturing. Indeed, manipulation in relational domain can suitably support and improve students' justifying and proving performances.
