DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This collection of Sketchpad activities enriches your students study of calculus, empowering them to directly experience the dynamic, geometric nature of calculus in a hands-on format. Students' understanding will deepen as they: - dynamically control the number of subintervals in a partition and see the area measurement change instantaneously - explore the relationship between the graphs of an equation, its derivative, and its second derivative as the original equation changes - investigate changes of position and velocity, leading to an exploration of rates of change and limits at infinity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Sketchpad activities in this collection give students the opportunity to directly experience, through dynamic visualization and manipulation, the topics covered in Precalculus. Students: - transform functions dynamically - view and modify entire families of functions polynomial, exponential, logistic, and more - build parametric functions, and manipulate vectors and matrices - discover the relationship between rectangular and polar coordinates - make complex numbers come alive on the coordinate plane - finish with a dynamic, visual introduction to the main concepts of calculus.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Geometry in Action uses Sketchpad? to awaken student creativity through discovery-based learning. It supplements any college geometry course in which The Geometer's Sketchpad is used. All students must have access to The Geometer's Sketchpad.Each book is packaged with a CD-ROM for students that illustrates what is meant by geometry in action. Students explore 27 sketches prepared by the author to demonstrate Sketchpad's capabilities by dragging points to see shifts in graphs, by animating tesselations to create new patterns, and much, much more! Also included on this CD is the Poincare Disk, a Sketchpad file used to dig deeper into non-Euclidean geometry with The Geometer's Sketchpad.
