The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dynamic geometry software on pre-service primary school teachers achievement of transformation geometry. Quasi-experimental design with experimental and control groups were used in this study. The exam was applied 60 pre-service primary school teachers; prior to the course as a pre-test; after application as the post test. The practices of experimental group were performed using dynamic geometry software Cabri and Geogebra and work sheets in the computer laboratory. The practices of control group were conducted with worksheet, unit squared paper and using built-folding and rotations activities in a traditional classroom setting. The datas that were obtained at the end of the study were analyzed by t-test. It was seen no significant differences in favor of the experimental group direction at the end of the study.
