Geometer's Sketchpad(r)

This dynamic construction and exploration tool enables students to explore and understand mathematics in ways that are simply not possible with traditional tools--or with other mathematics software programs.The Geometer's Sketchpadbrings a powerful dimension to the study of mathematics. WithSketchpad,students can construct an object and then explore its mathematical properties by dragging the object with the mouse. All mathematical relationships are preserved, allowing students to examine an entire set of similar cases in a matter of seconds, leading them by natural course to generalizations.Sketchpadencourages a process of discovery in which students first visualize and analyze a problem and then make conjectures before attempting a proof.Bassarear, Tom is the author of 'Geometer's Sketchpad(r)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780618768400 and ISBN 0618768408.
