Section 3 – Functions

In this section you will explore GeoGebra files which:

• support students understanding the basic characteristics of different function families
• help students understand shifting and scaling of functions (functions parameters)
• support students in sketching functions using a number of critical points
• provide students with a graphical understanding of calculus

Section 5 – Complex Numbers

In this section you will explore GeoGebra files which:

• demonstrate the connection between complex addition and translations
• demonstrate the connection between complex multiplication and rotation and scaling
• explain the relationships which exist between two complex numbers and their product
• form the basis for understanding De Moivre’s Theorem
• explain why multiplying a complex number by its conjugate creates a real number
