Harper, Suzanne R.; Driskell, Shannon
Mathematics Teacher, v99 n4 p288-291 Nov 2005
Graphic tips for using the Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) are described. The methods to import an image into GSP, define a coordinate system, plot points and curve fit the function using a graphical calculator are demonstrated where the graphic features of GSP allow teachers to expand the use of the technology application beyond the classroom.
