What does the mouse wheel do?
What does the little circle next to things in the "Algebra" view (on left) do?
Practice constructions (choose one):
- Construct a right triangle that remains a right triangle under distortion. Changing the length of one leg should not affect the length of the other leg.
- Construct an isosceles triangle that remains an isosceles triangle under distortion.
- Construct a square that remains a square under distortion.
- Create a sketch that illustrates the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. The sketch should allow a student to drag any vertex and easily see that the sum is constant.
