Geometer's Sketchpad

The Geometer's Sketchpad is a software package that allows you to create constructions normally done with a compass and straight edge. It can be a powerful tool in teaching geometric concepts. As you will see in the samples, constructions are only the beginning. Geometer's Sketchpad, allows you to easily answer the question, "What if".
