Abstract :
Problem Situation: This study aims to study how elementary mathematics teacher candidates solve a problem about three dimensional objects using the GeoGebra software.Methodology: In this study, case study approach was used. Participants of the researchwere three teacher candidates of year three in elementary mathematics teaching program.While collecting data for the research, semi-structured interview and a problem were used.Findings: The process of finding the answer to the problem remained at the level ofprediction. However, it was observed that in the process of using the GeoGebra software, thefacilities that the software offers was used to solve the problem.Discussion: All of the teacher candidates have managed to find the desired angle valueapproximately.
