Project: Flowers

  • Flowers can be created with GeoGebra in different ways. 

    Some ideas only need a few GeoGebra commands and are perfect for beginners. Other creations can be done with tools (only using them or self-made) and some more will use functions and rise from math lessons in upper secondary level.

    How to use the table above?

    Dear colleagues, this table shows a collection of ways to creatively construct nice flowers (maybe later coloured with PAINT). My idea was to collect ideas. Add more and fill in which method you like to try out with your students.
    I hope you will agree! By this we have cooperation from the very beginning! Monika

    Toolbox is ready to use

    In group work we have built ap a toolboy consisting of 12 nice tools to easily create flowers. It takes a long time, but now we are proud of it.
    Please try it out! Monika S., GER
