What is GeoGebra

GeoGebra is open source dynamic mathematics software for learning and teaching at all levels. This manual covers the commands and tools of GeoGebra 5.0. Depending on your hardware and preferences, you can currently choose between 5.0 Desktop and the 5.0 Web and Tablet App, which feature minor differences in terms of use and interface design.
