GeoGebra is an interactive mathematics teaching and learning platform, not just a set of free math tools. It is designed to connect teachers and students, providing new ways to explore and learn mathematics.
Uses GeoGebra is mainly used for mathematics teaching and learning, covering scenarios from school to university. Teachers can use it to explain concepts and create interactive learning activities; students can use it to visually explore mathematics, practice skills, and verify their ideas.
Main capabilities
- Math calculators and apps: Provides free tools that support interactive learning and exam experiences, available on all platforms.
- Math resources: Carefully created by an expert team for grades 4 to 12.
- Classroom collaboration: Supports interactive math lessons, can use GeoGebra materials, and integrates with multiple LMSs.
- AI photo problem solving: Take a photo of math homework, get step-by-step solutions with explanations, and practice similar problems.
- Exploration and practice activities: Discover important mathematical concepts through exploration activities, then master skills through practice activities.
- Computational capability: Can perform mathematics calculations at all levels, including 3D.
- Classroom learning platform: Teachers can view student progress in real time, provide personalized feedback, and encourage active participation and discussion.
How to use
- Most teachers and students are recommended to use the GeoGebra Calculator Suite, which integrates the main math tools into one app and is available across devices and platforms.
- If you need an app with fewer tools or want to create advanced GeoGebra resources, you can compare the available options on the download page.
- Many features can be used without an account, such as creating constructions and visualizations, solving problems, browsing resources, and saving files locally.
- An account is required to save work online, access it across devices, or use online sharing features. You can create one using an existing Google or Microsoft account.
- After downloading and installing the GeoGebra app, the main math tools can be used offline; searching online resources, logging into an account, or saving and sharing online still requires an internet connection. When offline, you can save your work locally.
Applicable scenarios
- Primary and secondary school and university mathematics classrooms and self-study.
- Teachers creating interactive learning activities and tracking student progress in real time.
- Students performing function graphing, equation solving, dynamic geometry constructions, 3D mathematics exploration, and data and statistics learning.
- Homework tutoring scenarios that require taking photos to get step-by-step solutions and practice similar problems.
Limitations
- The calculators, apps, and educational resources are free for non-commercial use, covering most uses by teachers, students, and parents in schools, universities, or at home; commercial use requires a separate license. If you are unsure whether the intended use is commercialuse, you need to contact the GeoGebra partnership team.
- Offline use is limited to the main math tools of the downloaded and installed app. Searching online resources, account login, and online saving and sharing require an internet connection.
- Online saving, cross-device access, and online sharing features require an account.
