This study sought to explore how the geometer’s sketchpad (GSP) could be used to improve students’ performance in quadratic graphs. Arguably the teaching and learning of algebra in schools have been perceived as difficult (Looney, 2004) at all levels due to the non-usage of modern technology, especially in Africa.
