Class work practice [Posted on 2007-11-05]
This product is really good for working through classroom problems. It gets a little tougher, if you're not used to the program, for more advanced problems. But it does help even by just using it to mess around with when having to do any geometry problem.
Cheaper than the publisher's website [Posted on 2008-01-31]
The cheapest, before shipping, I could find this on the Key Curriculum website was $39.99. This is a much better price.
A Helpful Tool [Posted on 2008-02-10]
This is a great tool when studying Euclidean Geometry. It works just like a straight edge and compass, except the diagrams can be manipulated afterwards so that one sketch can be used to test multiple cases (acute vs obtuse, for instance) which helps in the observation of geometric properties. The interface is easy to use and quick to learn. On the down side, the program offers very little help, which can be frustrating when you're trying something new. (I have yet to make the Construct Locus function work.)
A great student and classroom tool [Posted on 2008-03-03]
This sketchpad is a great way to supplement any geometry curriculum. I bought the student version (the only downfall I can find) and you have to put in the cd every time you run the program.
I will use it to demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem and construct basic geometric figures for my middle school curriculum. Very easy to use too! It does link you with additional lessons through NCTM. I will probably purchase the full version next year.

Loved it and have been happy with this software. It helps me decide whether to make orders of that for my school where I am teaching Geometry so I will do that. Thanks.
