The Geometer's Sketchpad is a dynamic interactive tool that adds a powerful dimension to the study of mathematics.
It is easy to use and
allows students to understand mathematics in ways that are not possible
with traditional tools—or with other software programs.
Students can construct objects, figures, and diagrams
and explore their mathematical properties by dragging objects with the
mouse. As shapes change, all mathematical relationships are preserved,
allowing students to examine an entire set of similar cases in a matter
of seconds.
Sketchpad lets students focus on the mathematics, not the software. It works
with an overhead projector, with one or two classroom computers, or in
a computer lab.
Plus, you can quickly and easily generate teaching aids such as worksheets, tests, reports, and presentations by exporting Sketchpad files to word-processing programs and spreadsheets, other drawing programs, and the Internet.
Within the United States, there is also Spanish edition of The Geometer's Sketchpad for Windows®.
