Abstract
This chapter defines a holistic learning model where students and teachers join together in an adventure of learning mathematics by doing the mathematics. The idea is that, to better understand the process or the function of a scenario, one builds a simulator, that is, a model using GeoGebra that simulates the problem. Because GeoGebra dynamically animates and integrates the algebra, the geometry, and the tabular data of a problem, these simulators help both teachers and students comprehend the whole picture. This chapter includes examples ofsimulators that are presented at various levels, starting from the end user with polished ready-to-use simulators up to basic do-it-yourself construction problems, where students own the design by creating a simulator themselves.
