GeoGebra Commands, Spreadsheets and Statistics

In this lesson you will be introduced to GeoGebra Commands, how to use Spreadsheets and using GeoGebra for Statistics.[br][br]Some examples of GeoGebra files are displayed in section 2 to give you a [br]sense of what can be achieved.  You should then work through the skills [br]and constructions sections before trying the tasks.
