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.

GeoGebra’s User Interface

Views and Perspectives

GeoGebra provides different Views for mathematical objects:

Menu view cas.png CAS View

Perspectives geometry.png Graphics View

Perspectives algebra 3Dgraphics.png 3D Graphics View

Menu view spreadsheet.png Spreadsheet View

Each View offers its own Toolbar that contains a selection of Tools and range of Commands as well as Predefined Functions and Operators that allow you to create dynamic constructions with different representations of mathematical objects.

Depending on the mathematics you want to use GeoGebra for, you can select one of the default Perspectives (e.g., Algebra Perspective, Geometry Perspective). Each Perspective displays those Views and other interface components most relevant for the corresponding field of mathematics.

Other Components of the User Interface

You may also customize GeoGebra’s user interface to match your personal needs by changing the default Perspectives and adding other components:

GeoGebra’s user interface also provides a variety of dialogs. Different accessibility features as well as keyboard shortcuts allow you to access many features of GeoGebra more conveniently.

Getting Started

If you are new to GeoGebra, you might want to check out our introductory materials that guide you through your first constructions. If you need additional help you might also want to visit our GeoGebra User Forum or check out GeoGebra's YouTube channel.
