Time | Narration |
00:01 | Welcome to this tutorial on Introduction to GeoGebra. |
00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn, About GeoGebra interface and geometric tools |
00:12 | To draw parallel and perpendicular lines |
00:16 | To change object properties of a line
About properties of Graphics view. |
00:22 | Here I am using, Ubuntu Linux OS, version 14.04 |
00:28 | GeoGebra version 5.0.438.0-d |
00:33 | To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with basic Mathematics. |
00:40 | To open GeoGebra applicaton in Ubuntu Linux OS, click on Dash Home. |
00:46 | In the search bar type geogebra.
GeoGebra icon appears. |
00:52 | Double-click on the icon to open the GeoGebra application. |
00:57 | Let us open GeoGebra application in Windows 10 OS. |
01:04 | In Search the web and Windows box, type geogebra. |
01:09 | GeoGebra appears in the list. |
01:12 | Click on it to open the GeoGebra application. |
01:17 | This is the GeoGebra interface. |
01:20 | It has a standard menu bar with menu items,
File, Edit, View, Options, Tools, Window and Help. |
01:37 | Below the menu bar, is a tool bar with various geometric tools. |
01:43 | On the right side of the tool bar, we have Undo, Redo, Help and Preferences options. |
01:53 | Below tool bar we have Algebra view and Graphics view. |
01:58 | In GeoGebra, geometry and algebra work side by side. |
02:03 | Graphics view is used to create geometric figures using tools on the toolbar. |
02:09 | Algebra view displays the corresponding algebraic expressions of the drawn figures. |
02:15 | Using View menu, we can open or close any view based on our requirement. |
02:25 | At the bottom of the window, we have an input bar. |
02:29 | We can directly enter algebraic commands and functions using the input bar. |
02:36 | By default grid and axes options are enabled on the Graphics view. |
02:42 | You can disable the axes or grid using the context menu. |
02:47 | Right click on Graphics view.
The Graphics menu opens. |
02:53 | In this menu, we have options to check and uncheck Axes and Grid. |
03:00 | Let me show you another method to enable or disable the axes and grid. |
03:05 | Notice a small arrow triangle next to Graphics, named as Toggle Style Bar. |
03:12 | Click on the arrow triangle to open the drop-down menu. |
03:16 | Here you will see options to check and uncheck axes and grid. |
03:22 | Next we will learn about the tool bar in detail. |
03:26 | Let us click on Move Graphics View tool at the right end of the toolbar. |
03:31 | Notice that, a dark blue border appears around the tool.
This indicates that the tool is selected. |
03:38 | Hover the cursor on the tool.
Its name and function appears in the tool tip box. |
03:45 | Using this selected tool, we can move the Graphics view.
Click and drag the Graphics view as required. |
03:53 | Each tool has a small black triangle at its corner. |
03:58 | When the cursor is placed on the triangle, it turns red. |
04:03 | Let us click on Move tool on the tool bar.
A drop-down list of related tools appear. |
04:10 | Let us draw points in the Graphics view. |
04:13 | Click on Point tool and then click on the Graphics view
Point A is drawn. |
04:20 | Again click to draw another point B. |
04:24 | Note that the corresponding coordinates of the points appear in the Algebra view. |
04:29 | Let us learn to draw a line. Click on the triangle at the corner of Line tool. |
04:36 | Here you can see a list of Line tools to draw various types of lines. |
04:42 | Using Line tool, we will draw a line through points A and B. |
04:47 | Click on Line tool and click on points A and B. |
04:53 | Line f passes through A and B. |
04:57 | Let us delete all the objects on the Graphics view. |
05:01 | Press Ctrl+A to select all the objects.
Press Delete key on the keyboard. |
05:08 | Let us redraw the line AB.
Click on Line tool and click on the Graphics view. |
05:17 | Click again at a different place to draw the line AB. |
05:22 | Next I will draw a line perpendicular to line AB. |
05:27 | To do that, click on the Perpendicular Line tool. |
05:31 | Click above line AB to draw point C, then click on line AB. |
05:38 | Line g passing through C is perpendicular to line AB . |
05:43 | Let us draw a line parallel to line AB. |
05:47 | Click on Parallel Line tool. |
05:50 | Click below AB to draw point D, then click on line AB. |
05:57 | A line h, parallel to AB and passing through point D, is drawn. |
06:02 | Now we will mark intersection points for the two lines. |
06:06 | In the Point tool drop-down, select Intersect tool. |
06:10 | Click on the intersection point of the lines f and g. |
06:15 | Then click on the intersection point of the lines g and h. |
06:20 | Now we will make our drawing a bit interactive. |
06:24 | Click on Move tool. |
06:27 | Click on point A and drag. |
06:30 | Notice that points E and F and all lines move along with point A. |
06:36 | Similarly we will move points B and D. |
06:40 | Points E , F and the lines move along with point B. |
06:45 | Only point F and line h move along with point D. |
06:50 | Points A, B and D are independent objects. |
06:56 | Now I will try to move points E or F.
We do not see any movement. |
07:03 | This indicates that, points E or F are dependent objects. |
07:09 | Now let us change the properties of the lines. |
07:13 | Right click on line AB.
A context menu opens, with all the properties of the line. |
07:21 | Select Object Properties.
Preferences window opens. |
07:27 | Resize the Preferences window to see the changes on the Graphics view. |
07:33 | I will explain some basic properties in the Preferences window. |
07:38 | In the Name box, you can change the name to Line AB. |
07:43 | And the Caption as Original Line. |
07:46 | Click the Show Object check box, to show or unshow the line. |
07:51 | The Show Label check box has a drop down to choose. |
07:55 | I will choose Name & Value.
Notice that name and value appears below the line. |
08:03 | Next click on the Color tab.
Here we have a color box to colour the line. |
08:10 | Below the colour box there is Preview box to view the changed colour. |
08:15 | I will click on the green box.
The colour of Line AB has changed to green. |
08:22 | Next click on Style tab. |
08:25 | Here you can change, Line Thickness
Line Opacity and Line Style. |
08:33 | Close the Preferences window. |
08:36 | Observe the Line AB with changed object properties. |
08:41 | I will change the object properties of line h. |
08:45 | Right-click on line h, to select Object Properties.
Preferences window opens. |
08:53 | Here I will change the colour to pink and style to dashed line. |
09:00 | Close the Preferences window. |
09:03 | Now let us save the file.
Click on File menu and select Save. |
09:10 | Save dialog box opens. |
09:13 | I will select Documents folder on my machine. |
09:17 | You can select any folder of your choice on your machine. |
09:22 | Type the File name as Lines.
Then click on Save button at the bottom. |
09:29 | Our file is saved with .ggb extension. |
09:34 | Pause the tutorial and do this assignment.
Open a new GeoGebra window. |
09:40 | Draw a line segment AB using Segment tool
|
09:44 | Draw a perpendicular bisector to segment AB. |
09:48 | Rename the lines and change the object properties. |
09:52 | Your completed assignment should look like this. |
09:57 | Let's now open a new window. |
10:00 | Click on File menu and select New Window. |
10:05 | Now, I will explain about Graphics window properties.
Here I will close the Algebra view. |
10:13 | Right click on the Graphics window. |
10:16 | The context menu opens with various options. |
10:20 | Choose Graphics option. |
10:23 | Preferences window opens. |
10:26 | In the Preferences window, we will see Basic, xAxis, yAxis and Grid tabs. |
10:36 | Resize the Preferences window and Graphics view and place them side by side. |
10:43 | We will change the basic properties of the Axes in the Basic tab. |
10:48 | Click on Bold check-box.
This makes the Axes bold. |
10:54 | Click on Color button.
Choose a color box appears. |
11:00 | You can choose any dark colour and click OK button. |
11:05 | The colour of the axes changes accordingly. |
11:09 | Next, select Line style drop down.
