Empower Teachers

Sketchpad gives teachers the tools to:

• Help students grasp concepts in elementary and middle-school mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus
• Create worksheets, exams, and reports by exporting figures and measurements to spreadsheets, word processors, other drawing programs, and the Internet
• Demonstrate concepts using Sketchpad with an overhead projector or classroom computer, and assign individual projects in a computer lab 
• Get quickly up to speed with an easy user interface
• Archive work, create electronic portfolios and presentations, develop curriculum, and design activities with multi-page documents
• Integrate web-based resources into Sketchpad activities and publish “live” activities on the Internet
• Use enhanced color and graphics options to highlight objects, create striking visual displays, embed mathematical text into constructions, and style text
• Provide interventions in a novel, appealing, and accessible format
• Energize any subject in the mathematical curriculum from third grade through college
