The Geometer's Sketchpad, Exploring Precalculus (SKETCHPAD ACTIVITY MODULES)

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.
