dc.description	The aim of this paper is to present the findings of a pilot study which was designed to investigate the effects of using dynamic geometry software on the tenth grade students’ geometric thinking, problem solving and proof skills. It was a quasi-experimental study consisted of 49 students from six different high schools around Istanbul. In the treatment groups, the students engaged with five dynamic geometry activities in the geometry lessons throughout the semester. Although no significant differences between the groups were observed, in the treatment groups, the students’ mean scores for each type of test increased significantly. The students’ answers for each item in the tests were also analyzed. It is found that students’ mean scores for each item were quite low such that they did not know the definitions of basic geometric concepts and the relationships between them and also they were not able to solve geometry problems and prove given arguments.
