Downloads!

Welcome to my downloads page! Here, you can download constructions, Custom Tools, and Geometer's Sketchpad Files for free!

You will need Geometer's Sketchpad to open most of the files on this page. If you don't have Geometer's Sketchpad, click here to get Geometer's Sketchpad.

The first set of downloads are traces- where you make constructions and then animate them. If you trace a point, (mark it so that it leaves a trail) you will get a design consisting of mathematical curves. Some of these constructions leave short simple designs, while others leave immense complex patterns that don't repeat often. You can also get all of them. Download Traces. (46 KB)

I also have my tool folder, which is a folder installed to "Program Files/Sketchpad". Normally it is empty but for a few help files, but you can make your own tools. I have my Geometer's Sketchpad tools in a folder you can download. I have made 17 tools which were all I used to create this site. It includes everything but the preinstalled files, so you can copy it over to your "Tool Folder" directory without replacing anything. The next time you open Geometer's Sketchpad, these tools will be in the list in your custom tools bar (the lowest button). Geometer's Sketchpad Tools. (72.7 KB) These tools will help you to do Geometer's Sketchpad projects faster. Mostly, they are constructions of polygons, but there are some other tools, including an angle trisector, segment bisector and trisector, and tangent functions. See below for details.

You can also get them individually here. You will have to move them to your tool folder, or open them and save them to your tool folder to get them to open with Geometer's Sketchpad the next time you start it.

Bisect Line Segment Equilateral Triangle Nonogon
Trisect Line Segment Square Decagon
Golden Ratio Pentagon 11-gon
Trisect an Angle Hexagon 12-gon
Construct Tangent Heptagon 14-gon

You can also download other things. Here are some Geometer's Sketchpad files.

You can also download animations. Here are all of the animations on this site, which you can download individually, or all together. All Animations. Traces are also animations. See the top of this page for details
