The Geometer's Sketchpad is a powerful application designed to help you teach mathematics in a visual interface. The program can work with geometric shapes, fractions, number lines and other elements required for the curriculum.
You can use this tool to provide students with a tangible way to learn about complex concepts such as trigonometric functions. It features a plain interface with multiple features for manipulating the objects from the canvas.
Limitations:
· You can only use the program for 20 minutes
· The print, save, copy and paste features are disabled
· Nag screen
