An interesting fact is that, although during the installation process, we could not customize the language. But after the installation is complete, from the main interface, left-click Options / Language and then select the Vietnamese language to use.

Below the Menu bar is a series of icons. Each icon corresponds to a different feature.

• To see what that feature is and how to use it, hover over it and see the instructions in the small window that appears.
• To use, left click on that icon.

Instructions for using the features of GeoGebra

Example: Draw a polygon

Instructions: Select the polygon vertices then select the first vertex again.

Specifically:

• Click the triangle icon.
• Left mouse click respectively at 3 different points on the graph (note: the first and the end must be the same).

In addition, each time you hover over an icon, the window that appears below provides more options for the user. Once completed, GeoGebra allows saving the results of the implementation for later use.

Click Show , the main interface will be divided, one side is the original graph, the other shows options.

At first glance, it seems that this is quite a complex software and difficult to use. However, the features and objects in GeoGebra are carefully calculated and closely connected, perfectly supporting each other during use. With 2 versions on computers and 2 versions on phones, GeoGebra makes users feel secure when they can be used anytime, anywhere, however, according to individual user reviews. The use of GeoGebra on computers and smartphones has certain differences, namely:

Features of GeoGebra on computer:

• Easy to manipulate.
• The operations are performed with extreme precision (points, lines, vectors, rotation, zoom ...).
• Large interface, easy to see, easy to observe and choose, change the options.
• Fast processing speed, clear display.
• Easily integrated with other devices to exchange and access data (other computers, projectors ...).
• Not convenient because the laptop is quite large so it is not suitable for moving far.

GeoGebra features on smartphones:

• Difficult to operate due to the small screen (especially for operations that need high precision such as selecting points, drawing graphs, getting asymptotic points ...).
• Difficult to see, zoom, it is not possible to observe the overall or other parts of the diagram.
• Data entry is also harder, longer.
• Easy to carry away.

Hopefully, with the basic tutorial above, you have learned how to use GeoGebra Math support software on the computer. There are many other features that have not been introduced, but based on this tutorial, you can learn and use it yourself.
