Animate the point shown bi-directionally along the bottom segment for a really cool effect.Ĭreate two or more figures using segments, arcs, circles, or whatever. Construct this logo in Sketchpad so that the ratio of a side of a square to the side of the next smallest square remains constant.

GSP SKETCHPAD SERIES

The logo for the Interactive Mathematics Program textbook series is shown at right (with a point added). (A net for a tetrahedron is shown at right.) Then print out your nets and build the solids! Construct nets for each of the five Platonic Solids, complete with folding tabs. Project 4Ī two-dimensional template for folding a three-dimensional solid is called a net. Alternately, you can access all these 16 projects in this single Sketchpad document.

16 Example ProjectsĬlick links in the project sections below to download example 'solution sketches' to sample projects chosen from 101 Project Ideas for The Geometer's Sketchpad. These sketches are designed for both Macintosh and Windows compatibility. The projects are for users with varying degrees of Sketchpad experience and cover a wide range of subject areas (art/animation, triangles, real-world modeling, calculus, transformations and tessellations, trigonometry, fractals, and many more).

Sketches in GSP can be easily copied and pasted into tests, handouts, etc.101 Project Ideas for The Geometer's Sketchpad is a booklet from McGraw-Hill Education that's full of exciting project ideas for use in the classroom or at home.Sometimes creating the sketch is not as important as investigating Hands On 7: Investigating.create the sketch, measure, tabulate, investigate, conjecture.Some investigations should have the students go through all the stages.see concrete examples of abstract ideas Hands On 6: Conjecturing.

make conjectures about geometric relationships.By sketching, measuring, interacting and recording their observations students can.Keep track of measurements using tables Hands On 5: Interacting.You can explore what relationships exist for whole families of geometric figures.Constructed objects maintain their geometric relationships when the drawn objects are moved.You can use the Calculate menu item to work with your measurements Hands On 4: Measuring.Select the item you want to measure and use the Measure menu.For any selected object, there are different things that you can measure.Do: Select objects that provide the input and use the Construct menu Hands On 3: Exploring Construction.Think: What is the minimal input I need to draw the shape I want.The rules of GSP construction are the same as “ruler and compass” construction.a sketch must describe not just the visual form of the figure also but its logical form Hands On 2: Drawing vs.In many ways creating a sketch is like writing a computer program.Sketching is not drawing, but drawing and constructing.

The drawing options aresubject to the classical“ruler and compass”restrictions Point Tool Compass Tool Straight Edge Tool Text Tool Custom Tools Hands On 1: Drawing.

GSP has many elements of a typical drawing program.
