What do you observe? Make a conjecture about your observation.ġ2.) Click File>Save, and type centroid as the file name construction. A median of a triangle is a segment connecting the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.ġ1.) Use the Selection Arrow tool and move the vertices and segments of the triangle.
These segments are the median of the triangle. This activity came from Exploring Algebra with The Geometers Sketchpad.
#GEO SKETCHPAD UPGRADE#
Now try the other two selection arrows and observe what happens.ħ.) To construct the midpoint, click segment AB (be sure that no point is selected), click the Construct menu from the Menu bar, and then click Midpoint.Ĩ.) Now, to construct the midpoints of BC and AC, select both segments (again with no point selected), click the Construct menu, and then click Midpoints.ĩ.) Now, to label the midpoints, select the text Text tool and then click the midpoints of AB, BC, and AC in that order.ġ0.) Next, select the Segment tool, and then construct AE, BF and CD. The Geometers Sketchpad was released in 1991 and has a new upgrade being. To drag the whole object, drag the across the entire construction to highlight all the objects, and then drag one of the objects. All visual elements are displayed in a scrollable. I have such a strong stance on the use of Geometers sketchpad to help enhance a. Sketchpad is a set of mathematics dynamic geometry, mathematical computation, formulas input application. 5.) With the Segment tool still selected, construct segments BC and AC.Ħ.) To familiarize yourself with how dragging works in GSP, click the Selection tool (the Translate arrow) and drag the vertices, segments, and labels of the triangle. Radius, Diameter, Circumference, Pi, Geometers Sketchpad, and.
