SolveWise includes two interactive visualization tools that appear automatically when the problem involves equations, functions, or geometry: Desmos for graphing and GeoGebra 3D for three-dimensional shapes. These aren’t static images — you can interact with them directly.

​
Desmos graphing

When you work through a problem involving an equation or function — such as graphing y = 2x + 3 or finding the intersection of two lines — SolveWise shows an interactive Desmos graph alongside the solution.

​
What you can do with the Desmos graph

  • Zoom in and out — use scroll or pinch to zoom
  • Pan — click and drag to move the viewing area
  • See points labeled — key points like intercepts and intersections are marked automatically
  • Watch the graph update — when working through transformations (shifting, scaling, reflecting), the graph updates at each step
The Desmos graph helps you see why the algebra produces a certain shape — connecting the symbolic steps to a visual result.

​
GeoGebra 3D geometry

For geometry problems involving three-dimensional shapes — cylinders, cones, spheres, prisms, pyramids — SolveWise displays a GeoGebra 3D model you can rotate and examine from any angle.

​
What you can do with the 3D model

  • Rotate — click and drag to spin the shape
  • See dimensions labeled — height, radius, base length, and other key measurements appear on the model
  • Zoom — scroll to zoom in and out
This is especially helpful for volume and surface area problems where it’s hard to visualize the shape from a flat textbook diagram.

​
When graphs appear

Graphs appear automatically based on the problem content — you don’t need to request them. You’ll see a Desmos graph whenever the problem involves:
  • Graphing an equation or function
  • Finding intercepts, slopes, or intersections
  • Transforming functions (shifts, reflections, stretches)
  • Quadratic equations with graphical solutions
You’ll see a GeoGebra 3D model whenever the problem involves:
  • Volume or surface area of 3D shapes
  • Cross-sections of solids
  • 3D coordinate geometry
If you’re working through a walkthrough step by step, the graph updates at each relevant step so you can see how each algebraic move changes the visual representation. This is one of the best ways to build intuition for why algebra works.
