Has anyone used the “new” geometry tool in your activities? If you have, let us know how you’ve used it!

Curious about how to integrate the tool with the rest of activity builder? Check out @SchuylerAlschuler 's newsletter from October of 2023

> Have you heard? We’ve got a new geometry component in Activity Builder! Now you can enjoy all the power of the Graphing Calculator (sliders, list comprehension, CL) alongside a set of fabulous tools for working with geometric constructions. We’re still sanding down a few rough edges, so you’ll need to enable this component in [Desmos Labs](https://teacher.desmos.com/labs?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--rSFiopgBMAmQUElgl6t_tf5l9oTvfppNymO0553r80rlGBhVwYZIs1ue_xbT6dq9t2MdB) before you’re able to play with it.

I’ve started included the geometry tool more, especially when it comes to measures on the grid needing to be more pretty or convenient to calculate. Where I’ve run into a snag a few times is the ability to change the center of the graph when the geometry tool is in a small view instead of full screen.  
Here’s a collection of some coordinate geometry stuff my department worked on and some of the screens in the longer activities for the assessment include geometry screens.

Woah! I love the idea to randomize assessments.
