Using Geogebra to Investigate the Volume of a Cylinder
Geogebra is a mathematical program that can be downloaded for free from the Geogebra website. This program offers various applications that concentrate on topics from Algebra to Geometry. This specific program can be utilized with students at a middle and high school level.
In the activity below, the students will use Geogebra to investigate the volume of a cylinder. This interactive activity provides the students with the opportunity to explore the relationship between height and radius of a cylinder in relation to volume. Based on how the students manipulate the variables of the cylinder, the students can construct their own knowledge in regards to the volume of 3D figures, specifically cylinder.
