(already made -- ready to use file)

(Materials for use with Geometer's Sketchpad 4.0 or higher -- not GSP 3.0)

The pages are shown below.

General (and simple) Directions:
Be sure that the students have chosen the arrow in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
Be sure that the screen is maximized so that the tabs at the bottom of the screen are visible. (The middle box at the right is showing a screen in maximized view.)
Read and follow the directions that appear on the page. "SHOW" means the values will appear when you click on the button. "HIDE" means the values will disappear when you click on the button.
To end the exploration, choose FILE - CLOSE. When the box asking if you wish to "Save Changes" appears, choose NO. This will keep the file in the same state as when you started working. None of the students' changes (or messing) will be saved.
