Description
Points of concurrency associated with triangles can be made accessible to all students through the dynamic capabilities of Sketchpad. From introducing students to the basic constructions of medians, altitudes, angle and perpendicular bisectors to inscribed circles and circumscribed triangles and beyond (think Euler and Nagel Segments . . . ), this exploration will cover the basics and more! No previous experience with Sketchpad is required.
