MatheGrafix is a geometrical drawing program and a function plotter for printing, presenting and integrating function graphs, fractal and geometrical objects in Office documents, which enables interactive work. The program is available as freeware in a portable software version and runs under Windows.
history
- 1994: 16-bit version MatheGrafix 4.02
- November 2007: 32-bit version MatheGrafix 5.02: the porting of the 16-bit version of MatheGrafix to 32 bit has been carried out.
- May 2008: MatheGrafix 6.02: The program now has the final storage format. Version 6 will be published for the first time on May 9, 2008 at the state-wide education forum for information and communication technology in schools "iMedia" in Mainz .

- January 2012: MatheGrafix 9.50: Formula editor for Lyapunov diagrams
- January 2016: MatheGrafix 10.4: Curves in polar coordinates , parameter curves (e.g. Lissajous figures ), 3D surface plots , vectors, planes and bodies in the three-dimensional coordinate system ( analytical geometry )
- July 2017: MatheGrafix 11.0: tree diagrams, urn model, binomial distribution, normal distribution and testing of hypotheses ( stochastics )
Use of MatheGrafix
The program is used in mathematics and physics classes in all types of schools from the 5th to 13th grade. The orientation level works with the geometry module, from the 9th grade on with function graphs. Since only graphs are drawn and no additional calculations are made, it can be used educationally for the visualization and documentation of graphs. Curve discussions in analysis remain useful, as the results (derivatives, extreme values, turning points) are not anticipated.
In the Central Office for Teaching Media on the Internet e. V. (ZUM) you can find instructions and projects for using MatheGrafix in the ZUM-Wiki. On the MatheGrafix website there is a collection of aids, teaching and working materials.
Distribution of MatheGrafix
MatheGrafix has been used by schools, teachers and institutions since 1994. In the Rhineland-Palatinate school network MNS +, MatheGrafix is part of the list of basic software equipment stored on the Rhineland-Palatinate education server and is therefore currently represented in many schools.
Features of the software
Focus on pressure
The main focus of the program is on printing and presenting geometric objects and function graphs , but not on calculating integrals or creating curve discussions . From a pedagogical point of view, it is therefore suitable for integration into lessons and for students to do homework.
Interactivity
The effects of slope and y-axis intercept on the functional equation of a linear function as well as the meaning of the parameters in the vertex shape of a parabola can be worked out interactively . Geometric lines and figures are drawn interactively. A set square , compass and ruler are available as aids .
