Geometer's Sketchpad
What is it?
Geometer's Sketchpad uses what they
call Dynamic Geometry®: the ability to
construct a precise geometric figure and
manipulate it by dragging any part of it
with a mouse. It is a general purpose tool
that includes a variety of add-ons,
including the ability to output JAVA
applets for web viewing. Students can
draw an object with Sketchpad, then
explore its mathematical properties by
dragging the object with the mouse. All
geometric relationships will be preserved,
allowing students to examine an entire
set of similar cases in a matter of
seconds, naturally leading them to
generalizations.
Where do I find it?
