Georgetown Day School| |The Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) is a
powerful tool for discovering geometric properties. The program
contains a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, and a simple word
processor, in addition to graphing possibilities for the
Cartesian plane. The activities illustrated are samples of those
used in Lower and Middle School mathematics classes at
Georgetown Day School: lines, rays, and segments; acute, obtuse,
and straight angles; area and perimeter; degrees in a triangle;
circles; degrees in a quadrilateral; sum of the interior angles
of a polygon; similar triangles; transformations.|
