With The Geometer's Sketchpad you and your students can construct an unlimited array of figures to create everything from simple textbook diagrams to working models of the Pythagorean Theorem, perspective drawings, Escher-like tessellations, fractals, animated sine waves, and much more. Sketchpad brings the real power of the computer to geometry as never before. With Sketchpad you can transform your figures with the mouse - preserving the geometric relationships of your construction. Every construction leads naturally to generalisations as you and your students see which aspects of the geometry change and which aspects of the geometry change and which stay the same.
Precise drawing is fast and accurate , revealing essential relationships with ease and clarity.
Whether you use it as a tool for independent student inquiry or a vehicle for classroom presentation, The Geometer's Sketchpad will be an exciting addition to your school curriculum. Sketchpad comes with a full package of support materials. Over 100 activities cover nearly all the concepts studied in school geometry as well as many extensions. These activities offer a range of experiences using The Geometer's Sketchpad, from carefully guided investigations to open-ended explorations. An inductive Approach with a Sketchpad activity.
