Using Geometer's Sketchpad Scripts

Kaitlin Spooner

Script tools can be developed in Geometer's Sketchpad in order to make work more efficient. A script tool is a construction that is developed step by step and then is saved. It can be used to make the same construction multiple times with only a few quick steps instead of having to reconstruct the object step by step every time. Below is a library of script tools that are useful in GSP. Once the a tool is downloaded, you can view the script to see the steps of the construction.
