Spot the difference with Geogebra

Spot the difference between the first and second pictures.
In Picture 1 Faeeza, the maths facilitator, jumps into action when asked about drawing pictures in Word. Quickly she opened Geogebra and drew the graphs the teachers requested. Afterward, she imported them to Word.

In Picture 2 Ms Mnisi, maths educator later followed Faeeza's example and drew the shapes she wanted. This was a good example of the instructor being modeled by the students. The maths HOD, Mr Fass and a Maths literacy educator were impressed with the outcome. These images (graphs and shapes) will now take the place of cutting and pasting (with a pair of scissors and glue). "What about using this with the Interactive Whiteboard?" Mr Fass asked. Not a problem!

Keep up the good work Chris Hani Maths educators!
