GeoGebra WorkshopGCCTM Meeting Dr. Joanne Goodell Cleveland State University September 13, 2010
What is GeoGebra • A free dynamic mathematics software for schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus • Two windows, one for graphics and the other for algebraic expressions form the interface • Drawing pad used like Geometer’s Sketchpad, can be used without the algebra window • Can create interactive Java applets from your drawings that can be run from any web site • Book has great introductory materials • Wiki has lots of free materials • Could be used to supplement or replace GSP
GeoGebra Options • Can run as independent Java applet from the computer you are using-this may not work in the lab without tech support setting it up. • Web start runs the Java applet from within the browser installed on the computer you are using-will probably work without tech support, but you must have internet access.

Further Exploration • Look at other activities and resources online. Wiki middle school level contains protractor practice • Adapt Sketchpad activities for GeoGebra • Write new explorations to match your curriculum and standards and export as java applets for your students to use on your website.
