Within the United States, Key offers a Spanish edition of The Geometer's Sketchpad for Windows®. You can quickly and easily generate teaching aids such as worksheets, tests, reports, and presentations with accurately measured figures by exporting Sketchpad files to word-processing programs and spreadsheets, other drawing programs, and the Internet. Sketchpad’s friendly user interface allows you and your students to get quickly up to speed so you can spend your time teaching mathematics, not software.
You can use Sketchpad across the mathematics curriculum, so you don’t need different software for each class, concept, or grade level that you teach. As shapes and positions change, all mathematical relationships are preserved, allowing you and your students to examine an entire set of similar cases in a matter of seconds. When you construct objects in Sketchpad, you can drag points and lines with the mouse. Sketchpad can help you quickly explore variables, relationships, and the mathematics of change with your students. Sketchpad works easily with your LCD projector, classroom computer, or SMART Board. Sketchpad provides you with a faster, more dynamic and engaging way to demonstrate mathematical concepts than using transparencies or drawing on the board.
You can take advantage of our subject-specific, ready-to-use activity books or create your own activities and demonstrations to differentiate learning for all students.
Sketchpad has the flexibility to help you meet your teaching needs regardless of your subject matter, technological expertise, or curriculum. Concepts that may be initially difficult for your students to understand become very clear when they see visual representations on the screen and interact with them using Sketchpad. With Sketchpad™, you can give your students a tangible, visual way to explore and understand abstract concepts in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus. You and your students can use this software program to build and investigate mathematical models, objects, figures, diagrams, and graphs. The Geometer's Sketchpad is a dynamic construction, demonstration, and exploration tool that adds a powerful dimension to the study of mathematics. Illuminate Mathematics with Dynamic Visualization.
