My daughter is taking a course this summer for college and is using geometer sketchpad. I know how to do it on paper with a ruler and such but not anything else. Is anyone familiar with the software? She is working hard and there's something about drag tests and she is very panicked that she's not doing it right and unfortunately, I cannot help her. She has several probs that looks good but I'm not sure if it passes the drag tests but she is absolutely stumped on how to make a dodecahedron using gps. Any suggestions? Thank you. Pamela
 
still stumped on this one. Is there a site for good gps files or help? The ones we have looked at don't help. Need to do the dodecahedron and a cube/cross
 
Have you tried the manufacturer's web site for support? Not all math teachers know all versions of all software, so going directly to the source might be more helpful.

Have you tried doing a web search for sites related specifically to the software package? Math tutoring sites tend to concentrate more on tutoring, and less on software support, so a software-specific site might be better informed.

Good luck!

Eliz.
