Algebra Perspective
Flexible user interface
The user interface of GeoGebra is flexible and can be adapted to the needs of your students.
Examples
If you want to use GeoGebra in early middle school, you might want to work with a blank sheet in the Graphics View and use geometry tools. Later on, you might want to introduce the coordinate system using a grid (accessible from the Style Bar) to facilitate working with integer coordinates.
In high school, you might want to use algebraic input in order to guide your students through algebra on into calculus.

These different Views can be shown or hidden using the View menu. For quick access to several predefined user interface configurations, you may want to try the Perspectives menu.
