The Geometer's Sketchpad is a cross platform application designed to provide support for solving, illustrating, and experimenting with various math problems, geometrical figures, related parameters, and so on.
The application enables you to create geometrical shapes, to apply various transformations, and to measure the changes in real time. Moreover, the app can also plot functions, or create graphs for equations.
Some of Geometer's Sketchpad 5 for Mac aliases include "Geometers Sketchpad 5". The application lies within Education Tools, more precisely Science. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus. The actual developer of this Mac application is Key Curriculum Press.
With a scope that spans the mathematics curriculum from middle school to college, The Geometer's Sketchpad brings a powerful dimension to the study of mathematics.
Sketchpad is a dynamic construction and exploration tool that enables students to explore and understand mathematics in ways that are simply not possible with traditional tools or with other mathematics software programs.
What's new in The Geometer's Sketchpad 5.06:
- Functions defined by a Drawing no longer fail to fit the greatest height of the Drawing when the Drawing is highly rotated.
- Custom Tools that both match certain Givens to existing sketch objects and create points-on-objects on their Givens no longer occasionally fail to match properly.
- Several example documents in the "Elementary and Middle School Mathematics" folder have undergone minor improvements.
