Abstract

sketchometry - in touch with geometry!

At the Center for Mobile Learning with Digital Technology we are not only developing the JavaScript library JSXGraph, but also the gesture-based geometry software sketchometry.

You draw with your finger on your smartphone or tablet. sketchometry converts your sketches into precise geometric constructions that you can modify and move. Mathematics becomes an experimental subject. No ready-made results are presented, learners are encouraged to go on a journey of discovery by themselves. sketchometry is free of charge and can be used both at school and at home.

Last year, sketchometry 2 was officially released: https://start.sketchometry.org . Since the last conference, however, a lot has happened thanks to the developments in JSXGraph. In our short presentation, we will also briefly discuss a few new features.

We would also be delighted if you could help to translate sketchometry into other languages. Contact us here: https://translate.sketchometry.org/
