Below you can see the Graphics View and Algebra View of GeoGebra Classic, which form one of GeoGebra's pre-defined Perspectives, the Graphing Perspective. Have a look at the user interface and familiarize yourself with its most important features.
Note: Open the Perspectives menu using the Menu button to select a different Perspective (e.g. Geometry, Spreadsheet, CAS, 3D Grapher, Probability).

How does GeoGebra Classic work?
In GeoGebra Classic, geometry and algebra work side by side:
Using the provided geometry tools in the Toolbar you can create geometric constructions in the Graphics View. At the same time the corresponding coordinates and equations are displayed in the Algebra View.
On the other hand, you can directly enter algebraic input, commands and functions into the Input Bar by using the keyboard. While the graphical representation of all objects is displayed in the Graphics View, their algebraic numeric representation is shown in the Algebra View.
Flexible user interface
The user interface of GeoGebra Classic is flexible and can be adapted to your needs.
Examples
If you want to use GeoGebra Classic in early middle school, you may want to work with a blank sheet in the Graphics View and use geometry tools. Later on, you may want to introduce the coordinate system using a grid (accessible from the Style Bar) to facilitate working with integer coordinates.
In high school, you may want to use algebraic input to guide your students through algebra on into calculus, or use the CAS for symbolic computations.
GeoGebra Classic’s user interface also provides a variety of dialogs. Different accessibility features as well as keyboard shortcuts allow you to access many features of GeoGebra more conveniently.
Different views of mathematics
GeoGebra Classic offers the following Views:
These different Views can be shown or hidden using the View menu. For quick access to several predefined user interface configurations, you can use the Perspectives menu.
