#Using Geogebra to make sketches for exploring concepts in geometry
#Understanding how to vary parameters to explore concepts in geometry
#Building animations with slider
===What prior skills are assumed===
#High level of familiarity with the Geogebra tool bar and the different features, including check box and text box
#Working with text document and adding pictures
===What resources do you need===
#Computer lab with projection
#[[Learn Firefox|Access to internet]]
#Handout for [[Learn Ubuntu|Ubuntu]]
#Handout for [[Learn Geogebra|Geogebra]]
#Handout for [[Learn Screenshot|Screenshot]]
#Geogebra files for demonstration
===What digital skills will you learn===
#Learning to work with interactive applications, with given input
#Accurately drawing and measuring geometry figures
#Creating animations with changing parameters using the slider function in geogebra
===Description of activity with detailed steps===
====Teacher led activity====
In the last activity, you would have tried to create quadrilaterals with two equal sides, all sides equal etc. You may have found that it is difficult to only visually draw of a given length. In addition, once you have changed the side, you cannot go back to the earlier construction.
In geogebra, you have a tool called slider which you can use to vary the value of a parameter and by varying it you can study the properties of the figure being constructed.
You will use the following Geogebra files which for this lesson. (You can click on the image to download the Geogebra file, you can do this for any Geogebra file in the text book)
'''Two files to be uploaded for side slider and angle slider.'''
Your teacher will demonstrate the following to you:
#Demonstrating how to add a slider
##Angle
##Side
#How to change an object using the mouse/keyboard to change the slider
#Making a textbox with a conclusion
====Student activities====
After the demonstration lesson, you will learn to construct the following:
#Angle of given side
#Triangle with given sides
#Quadrilateral with given sides
===Portfolio===
#Your completed Geogebra files will be the addition to your digital portfolio.
#Your screenshots of sliders and associated geogebra sketches

====Teacher led activity====
In the last activity, you would have tried to create quadrilaterals with two equal sides, all sides equal etc. You may have found that it is difficult to only visually draw of a given length. In addition, once you have changed the side, you cannot go back to the earlier construction.
In geogebra, you have a tool called slider which you can use to vary the value of a parameter and by varying it you can study the properties of the figure being constructed.
You will use the following Geogebra files which for this lesson. (You can click on the image to download the Geogebra file, you can do this for any Geogebra file in the text book)
'''Two files to be uploaded for side slider and angle slider.'''
Your teacher will demonstrate the following to you:
#Demonstrating how to add a slider
##Angle
##Side
#How to change an object using the mouse/keyboard to change the slider
#Making a textbox with a conclusion
====Student activities====
After the demonstration lesson, you will learn to construct the following:
#Angle of given side
#Triangle with given sides
#Quadrilateral with given sides
===Portfolio===
#Your completed Geogebra files will be the addition to your digital portfolio.
#Your screenshots of sliders and associated geogebra sketches
