College Geometry Using The Geometer's Sketchpad(R) is unique in its truly discovery based approach to learning geometry with complete integration of Sketchpad Through explorations of topics ranging from triangles and circles to transformational, taxicab, and hyperbolic geometries, students hone their understanding of geometry and their ability to write rigorous mathematical proofs. It is an ideal text for students planning to teach at the middle or secondary level. Each chapter follows the same format to best promote active learning:

- Activities open each chapter allowing students the opportunity to explore topics and make conjectures using Sketchpad

- Discussions cover important theorems and concepts that solidify the conjectures made in the activities

- Exercises reinforce the discussions and advance student expertise with Sketchpad

- Each new copy of the book is packaged with a valuable CD-ROM with Sketchpad documents that relate directly to the material in the text

- These multi-page documents provide a starting point for every activity and provide dynamic interactive versions of all the figures in the text.

Geometry in Action uses Sketchpad™ to awaken student creativity through discovery-based learning  It supplements any college geometry course in which The Geometer's Sketchpad is used. All students must have access to The Geometer's Sketchpad.

Each book is packaged with a CD-ROM for students that illustrates what is meant by geometry in action. Students explore 27 sketches prepared by the author to demonstrate Sketchpad's capabilities by dragging points to see shifts in graphs, by animating tesselations to create new patterns, and much, much more! Also included on this CD is the Poincaré Disk, a Sketchpad file used to dig deeper into non-Euclidean geometry with The Geometer's Sketchpad.

Firmly rooted in the NCTM Principles and Standards, Using Technology and Problem Solving in Middle and High School Mathematics examines why technology is essential to today's mathematics classroom, and illustrates how using technology can encourage and enhance students' study and understanding of mathematics. Inquiry-based, this text provides both a five step model and twenty-three sample investigations that demonstrate how to help students become better problem solvers through the use of four types of instructional technology: the scientific calculator, the graphing calculator, spreadsheet software, and The Geometer's Sketchpad software..

Rethinking Proof harnesses the power of Dynamic Geometry® to engage students in proving conjectures and thinking about proof in different ways. Rethinking Proof offers other motivations for proof besides verification, including explanation, discovery, challenge, and systemization. In the activities, students work with SketchpadTM sketches to make conjectures. Carefully constructed questions guide students to develop explanations of why their conjectures are true. Comes with extensive teachers notes, and includes a CD-ROM* containing pre-made Sketchpad sketches..
