What is it?
GeoGebra is a free software program that lets kids create mathematical constructions -- and models where they can drag objects and adjust parameters -- to explore algebra and geometry simultaneously (along with other math fields). It's browser-based and also has downloadable applets for computer and mobile devices. GeoGebra offers kids and teachers the option to use existing math explorations or build their own, and there are a lot of tools available to do this. The existing pool of explorations is vast, so it covers most high school Common Core math expectations, especially those involving graphing or geometry. Teachers can make their own interactive worksheets that include simulations, videos, text, multiple-choice questions, and more. Some of the preexisting worksheets are interactive, while others simply show a concept.

Getting Started with Geogebra - Teacher Edition:
Mathematical Technology
Mathematical Technology
- Geogebra is a Mathematical Action, Amplifier, and Reorganizer Technology tool for learning and reinforcing mathematical content from our classroom. Students will be able to interact in numerous ways including creating shapes (triangles, quadrilaterals, & circles), dragging shapes, and dragging vertices across a graph.

ISTE Standards:
ISTE Standards:
- Students become Empowered Learners by reinforcing mathematical ideas on the powerful graphing calculator within Geogebra.
- Students are Digital Citizens by recognizing the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of everyone while learning and working in an interconnected digital world in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.
- Students build as Knowledge Constructors by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
- Students become Innovative Designers using a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
- Students become Computational Thinkers as they develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
- Students can be Global Collaborators using Geogebra to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints.
Cool features:
Cool features:
- Geogebra has a mighty strong calculator that can perform tons of interactive maneuvers reinforcing loads of mathematical ideas and standards.
- Teachers can construct their own lessons within the framework of Geogebra.
- Geogebra has a great Interactive Geometry Environment.
- There are a lot of resources available for lessons.
- There are lots of tools for "hands on" activities for students to manipulate geometrical objects.
Limitations:
Limitations:
- Like Desmos, Geogebra is limited as a collaboration tool within itself but can be used as a collaborative tool when in groups.
- Without significant help, less experienced students (and teachers) might struggle when things get complicated.
