Dr Setiabudi No. 229, Bandung, West Java,40154, Indonesia *E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Blended Learning has received considerable attention in the field of mathematics education in recent years. This study combines online learning and face-to-face based learning. Blended Learning is based on some of the weaknesses found in online learning. In Blended Learning, Online learning is not just the learning that collects teaching materials, assignments, exercises, tests, and results of students’ works. It also has to be an interesting and attractive learning so that students’ will have better understanding on learning objectives. One of the tools for developing interesting and attractive online learning process is an open source software called GeoGebra. Blended Learning has very good quality when applied in developing students’ High-Order Mathematical Thinking Competency (HOMTC) as it is evident from previous researches. This study was an experiment based on pretest-posttest control group aiming to examine the influence of Blended Learning and students’ initial mathematical ability on students’ achievement and enhancement of HOMTC consisting of some aspects such as mathematical problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical connections.

    Short introduction to PSTricks Tobias N¨ahring February 22, 2005 1 This presentation was held in German at the TEX-user-meeting Dresden (Germany) at June 12, 2004 (see also http://www.carstenvogel.de). The slides are shown here in a scaled-down version with minor changes and some explanations are added. A PSTricks is well suited to draw simple vector graphics inside of LTEX documents. The basic syntax of PSTricks is quite similar to that one of the A picture environment native to LTEX but the macros of PSTricks are in general much more comfortable and powerful. Even if PSTricks is rather powerful it should be emphasised that every program should be used for the task it is designed for. For an example, if you want to construct complicated realistic three-dimensional scenes you should better use some ray tracer1 (e. g. the freely available ray tracer povray). 1. even if less complicated three-dimensional scenes can be visualized with the help of the PSTricksadd-on vue3d 1-1 1 Sources • http://www.tug.org/applications/PSTricks/ Many, many examples.

    The Ornaments package Alain Matthes May 28, 2020 (Version 1.2 2020/05/26) This document describes the LATEX package pgfornament and presents the syntax and parameters of the macro ”pgfornament”. It also provides examples and comments on the package’s use. Firstly, I would like to thank Till Tantau for the beautiful LATEX package, namely TikZ. I am grateful to Vincent Le Moign for allowing us to distribute the ornaments 1 in the format Pstricks and PGF/TikZ. 1 http://www.vectorian.net/ (free I also thank P. Fradin who first created a package on ornaments sample) in relation to PStricks, which gave me the idea to do the same thing in relation to TikZ. I would like to thank also Enrico Gregorio for some great ideas used in this package. You will find at the end of this document the 196 symbols provided with the package. With this new version comes a new family of ornaments. Chennan Zhang drew the motifs using a CAD application, re-drew them in TikZ, and granted permission for these to be turned into a library (pgfornament-han) suitable for use with the pgfornament package by LianTze Lim. It is now possible to use directly the library for Chinese traditional motifs and patterns. Next to the document you are reading, you will find documenta- tion on the package tikzrput.

(documentation by Denis Girou ([email protected]) and Herbert Voß([email protected]). 1 Abstract ‘pst-fill’ is a PSTricks (13), (6), (14), (9), (7) package to draw easily various kinds of filling and tiling of areas. It is also a good example of the great power and flexibility of PSTricks, as in fact it is a very short program (it body is around 200 lines long) but nevertheless really powerful. It was written in 1994 by Timothy van Zandt but publicly available only in PSTricks 97 and without any documentation. We describe here the version 97 patch 2 of December 12, 1997, which is the original one modified by myself to manage tilings in the so-called automatic mode. This article would like to serve both of reference manual and of user’s guide.
