Learn Geogebra

Introduction

Geogebra is an interactive geometry , algebra, statistics and calculus application, intended for learning and teaching mathematics from primary school to university level. Geogebra’s tools enable us to produce new objects using pointing device. They can be activated by clicking on the corresponding buttons of the Toolbar. This application is free and licensed under the GNU Public License.

Educational application and relevance

Geogebra is an outstanding technology tool that improves mathematics education.Through simulations, students create concrete representations of geometric theorems instead of abstractly configuring images in the mind. Geogebra is an exciting, Web based application that eliminates concept of memorization. In addition to this, students transform from passive classroom observers to active, excited participants. Meaningful learning occurs as the students manipulate and test data with-in the Geogebra.

Version

The GEOGEBRA version - 5.0.236.0-3D…..

Working with the application

Functionalities

The tool has several features...like….,

1. We can create special .ggb files which can be used to apply a style to other files.
2. We can load a .ggb file into another.
3. Opacity for lines and perimeters of shapes.
4. Insert image tools now supports SVG files.
5. This is a simulation as well as graphic plotter

Step 1 - In GeoGebra you can animate the geometric figure you have drawn and dynamically see how some values like length, area, perimeter of a figure changes, see the same figure in different ways.

Step 2 - Drawing points, line segment and rays Select Point Tool, and click anywhere on the drawing point to plot six points A, B, C, D, E, F.
