Our verdict: GeoGebra is the go-to free math app for schools: it draws graphs and constructions, solves equations symbolically and works offline once installed. Businesses must buy a license, and the many separate apps can confuse new users, so start with the Calculator Suite.
About GeoGebra
GeoGebra is a family of math apps for algebra, calculus, geometry, 3D graphing, statistics and probability. The Calculator Suite, which GeoGebra recommends for most teachers and students, combines 2D graphing, geometric constructions, 3D graphing, a table of values, symbolic calculations (CAS) and probability tools in one app with a modern interface. GeoGebra Classic keeps the traditional interface with extra authoring tools for creating resources.
The apps are free for non-commercial use, including teaching and learning at school, university or home; commercial use requires a separate license. After installation the main math tools work without an internet connection. An account is optional and only needed to save work online and use it across devices. Exam modes restrict access to the internet and other apps during tests.
What it does well
- Graphing. Plot functions, inequalities and data in 2D and 3D.
- Geometry. Build interactive constructions with points, lines, circles and sliders.
- CAS. Solve equations, factor, differentiate and integrate symbolically.
- Probability and statistics. Distributions, probability calculator and data analysis.
- Exam mode. Locks the app down for use during tests.
Who it is for
Good fit
Students and teachers who need graphing, geometry and symbolic math in one free app.
Look elsewhere
Commercial users without a license, or engineers who need numeric programming.
