Geometer's Sketchpad


Learn to use Geometer's Sketchpad, an interactive tool that enables teacher to construct, draw, manipulate and measure lines, circles, angles and polygons. Teachers will analyze relationships, develop proofs and work with fractals, transformations and tessellations to solve real world problems

Outcomes:

· Learn skills for constructing, manipulating and measuring lines, angles and polygons
· Use inductive reasoning to explain geometric relationships
· Use graphing tools to draw functions
· Develop scripts for constructing polygons


Projects

· Use acquired skills to make perspective drawings to measure distances from multiple views
· Use acquired skills to design fractals, tessellations and transformations of irregular polygons to solve real life problems.
