The Geometer's Sketchpad®
Dynamic Geometry® Software for Exploring Mathematics
Grades 6 and Up
Dynamic Mathematics Explorations
Deepen Students' Understanding
Spanning the mathematics curriculum from middle school through
college, The Geometer's Sketchpad is a dynamic construction
and exploration tool that adds a powerful dimension to the
study of mathematics.
Versatile
and easy to use, Sketchpad allows
students to understand mathematics in ways that are not possible
with traditional tools—or with other software
programs.
With Sketchpad, 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.
With its friendly user interface, Sketchpad is
easy to use and 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.
