SketchPad



Geometer's Sketchpad is a popular commercial interactive geometry software program for exploring geometry, algebra, calculus, and other mathematics topics. It is kind of confusing at the beginning, but you can find guided information on how to do things and steps to complete activities online with many different websites. The main help website that I used was the official [|The Geometer's SketchPad Resource Center] which also includes various [|activities]. We completed a whole packet of activities including measurement of fish with rulers you can put up to the screen, coordinate paths and finding (x,y) coordinates, and my favorite which was the kaleidoscope activity. This program offers endless visual aid activities for kids to complete as well as the capability of making your own projects. I did not use this program for one of my projects, however other students in my class shared some of theirs and they were awesome! I will definitely have to try using it with my own ideas in the future.
