Using Technology in Math: GeoGebra
There are many technological resources that are helpful in math. As a math major, my favorite website/app that I have worked with is GeoGebra.
These are some of the ways that mathematicians can use GeoGebra:
These are some of the ways that mathematicians can use GeoGebra:
- Geometry: Create and manipulate geometric objects like points, lines, polygons, and circles. Measure distances, angles, and areas. Explore geometric properties and relationships.
- Algebra: Solve equations and systems of equations. Perform symbolic calculations, factor polynomials, and simplify expressions. Graph functions and inequalities.
- Calculus: Differentiate and integrate functions. Find limits, derivatives, and integrals. Explore calculus concepts visually and numerically.
- Graphing: Plot functions, parametric curves, and polar curves. Investigate the behavior of functions, analyze their graphs, and find intersections and roots.
- Data Analysis: Enter and organize data in spreadsheets. Create various statistical plots, such as histograms, scatter plots, and box plots. Perform statistical calculations and regression analysis.
- 3D Visualization: Explore three-dimensional geometry, graph functions in 3D, and rotate objects to view them from different angles.
- Dynamic Worksheets: Create interactive worksheets with embedded constructions, graphs, and questions. These worksheets can be shared with others for collaborative learning.
- Programming: Use GeoGebra's scripting language to create dynamic and interactive mathematical simulations and animations. Customize the behavior of objects and create interactive applets.
- Online Community: Connect with a global community of GeoGebra users. Access a vast library of shared resources, including pre-built applets, worksheets, and lessons created by educators and mathematicians.
