Geometer's Sketchpad

"This is a terrific, simple, automatic drawing program. Developed for geometry, Sketchpad's flexibility can be used to explore algebra, trigonometry, calculus, art, science, and more. As a dynamic geometry construction and exploration tool, Sketchpad can make an enormous difference in how effectively students learn. With it, students can take ownership of their learning when allowed to make their own discoveries of geometry concepts."
