My Take

Geogebra is a great dynamic tool that enables students to interactively explore a wide variety of mathematical concepts. Teachers and students can create their own works, or use graphs that are available on the Geogebra site. It is a great option for helping students to "see" mathematics in action!

How I Use It

I use this tool for a variety of things. It is good for geometric drawings and explorations, transforming figures and more. It is also great for demonstrating behavior in algebraic functions. I really love the trace feature where you can help students to see a graph being drawn in real time. My pre-calculus students really connected with this when we looked at the graph of the sine function and how it related to the unit circle.

The best graphing calculator online

My favorite part of using GeoGebra is that it is a quick and simple program to use during a lecture. Students can participate in checking their graphs to make sure that it has been graph correctly. This program allows adding multiple graphs at the same time which can help compare and contrast the different types of graphs.

Glitchy and confusing

This product defies the norms of any online/technological tool you've ever used because it absolutely sucks. Attempting to make a simple program that plots points is a pain. Trying to fix any error you made by opening up the tool box or settings just results in further confusion.

Great interactive technology

This tool can be used to help students gain a deeper understanding of the material. In order to limit the frustrations of students and teachers, time must be set aside prior to learn and understand how to use all of the tools included. An information tutorial should also be viewed. If this tool could be easier to navigate, it could easily surpass other tools like it.
