Here's the story

The following materials are intended to give a brief introduction to GeoGebra. There are many existing tutorials from the GeoGebra Wiki. I chose a select few and modified them as needed. I also created a few of my own worksheets and edited others from GeoGebra contributors.

Let's Try GeoGebra

Let's try out some of the features of GeoGebra.

2.1.

Graphics (Geometry) View

What are Tools?

Each GeoGebra View provides a Toolbar with a selection of Tools specific for the View you are working with. You may activate a Tool by clicking on the button showing the corresponding icon. Task: Create a circle using the

Circle with Center through Point tool.

Select the Circle with Center through Point tool.
Click twice in the Graphics View in order to create a circle. Note: The first click defines the center of the circle, while the second click determines its size.
Select the Move tool and drag the points in order to change the circle's size and / or position.

Try it yourself...

What are Toolboxes?

GeoGebra's Tools are organized in Toolboxes, containing similar Tools, or Tools that generate the same type of new object. You can open a Toolbox by clicking on a Tool button and selecting a Tool from the appearing list. Task: Find the

Segment tool within the Toolboxes and create a segment.

Search the Toolboxes for the Segment tool.
Click twice in the Graphics View in order to create two points and a segment between them.
Select the Move tool and drag the points in order to change size and / or position of the segment.

What are Tooltips?

When you select a Tool, a Tooltip appears explaining how to use this Tool. Hint: If you want to know more about this Tool, click on the Tooltip. This opens a web page providing more detailed information for the selected Tool. Task: Find out how the
