This study investigated the problem-solving competency of four secondary pre service teachers (PSTs) of University of London as they explored geometry problems in dynamic geometry environment (DGE) in 2004. A constructivist experiment was designed in which dynamic software Cabri-Géomètre II (hereafter Cabri) was used as an interactive medium. Through participating in the study, the PSTs demonstrated their competency exemplified by using their subject knowledge to construct, to make conjectures and verify their conjectures on their way to solve the given geometric problems.
