Can someone help me use Geogebra? I need help and I'm doing it all wrong. D:

Question

anonymous · Answer

In a new GeoGebra window, go to the menu option entitled “Perspectives” at the top of the screen and select “Algebra & Graphics”.  Then go to the menu option entitled "View".  Select “Grid” to turn the gridlines on, and select “Algebra” to turn the Algebra window off since it is not needed.
^^I can't seem to find the Perspectives and Algebra & Graphics buttons

The regular version

There's no such thing as a regular version. There's Geogebra 1 thru 5 standalone. There's also the google embedded version. Which one are you using?

Geogebra 1? I think O.o

Hold on lemme look for that now and thx Hero you're a lifesaver! xD

hero · Answer

Geogebra is one of my favorite math software to use. That being said, I don't know all the features, but there are many. It's not on Mathematica or Maple level yet though.

anonymous · Answer

Question! After I click Grid do I check the tiny little box that says grid also or just close the extra window?

hero · Answer

That depends on how your instructor wants you set things up. I'm not sure if I can answer that for you. I can help you navigate and tell you where things are, but that's about it.

hero · Answer

Besides, it's better to explore the functionality on your own to figure out how it works.

anonymous · Answer

Yea the sad part is I've struggling using this program for yrs xD n i still don't get it
I usuallly fail any assignment that requires geogebra since idk how to use it yet

anonymous · Answer

But thx you did help out alot!

hero · Answer

Well, using it does require a level of interest. If you're not interested in the program, then it will be useless for you.

anonymous · Answer

Yea, I at least have the first three steps right on my assignment xD
So thank you for that!

hero · Answer

Okay, well, good luck with it :D
