INTRODUCTION

Various studies indicate that computer technology has shown its role in improving students
learning achievement and adding new strategies and approaches of teaching and learning.
However, certainly computer is nota cure for all the problems of education, particularly
mathematics. We cant expect a lot of enhancing students achievement if computer facilities are
inadequate in number. Suitability of the material with a computer program, teacher skills in using
computer software, and proper training and knowledge by teachers who will use the computers
in the classroom are important factors in learning with computer software. There are some
software used in teaching and learning. One of the software which is widely used in the teaching
of mathematics is a
dynamic geometry software
(DGS). Measuring with DGS tools allowed students to go deeper in their investigation. Students
talked about geometric relationships that they had not discovered when using paper and pencil
diagrams [2]. Exploration of using the software gave a good effect in solving of problem
[3].Problem solving has been the focus of learning in elementary education for several decades.
In addition, NCTM also see that problem solving can be used as a tools to build students
understanding of mathematicalconcepts [4]. Therefore, activities of problem solving using DGS
presented in this article be able to be used as areference of problem solving process
