GeoGebra, a free, open-source, dynamic mathematics software, is rapidly gaining popularity in the teaching and learning of mathematics around the world. Currently, GeoGebra is translated to 62 languages, used in 190 countries, and downloaded by approximately 500,000 users in each month, and clearly making an impact on mathematics education in most countries. This increased use compelled the establishment of the International GeoGebra Institute (IGI) that serves as a virtual organization to support local GeoGebra initiatives and institutes. There are already 130 institutes in 85 countries, which pursue training and support of teachers, develop teaching materials, and carry out research projects. In this talk, I will outline the directions of GeoGebra software development, its extension to STEM subjects, activities of its community, and the work of GeoGebra Institutes.

Statistics is the most practical branch of mathematics since it is widely used in various sectors. Our research and others show evidences that many students held different misconceptions in statistics indicating they are weak in statistical reasoning (SR). Neglecting this problem will definitely impede students’ learning of statistics and curtail their enthusiasm if the problem is not overcome. A technology-based SR activity and a technology-based SR assessment tool were developed to promote SR ability and address learners' misconceptions.
