GeoGebra The Abstract GeoGebra is free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins geometry, algebra, tables, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-to-use package. Copyright 2011 Ana Escuder, Joseph M. Furner, Lisa Herron
GeoGebra: The Basics In the presentation, we will show the following: How to use the polygon and circle tools How GeoGebra uses sliders to adjust values How to use checkboxes to hide and show functions How to insert images into a file Copyright 2011 Ana Escuder, Joseph M. Furner, Lisa Herron
