    • The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a sophisticated but free open-source graphics editor. See how GIMP tools and features, such as pixel counts, layers, and grid lattices, can help teach higher-order thinking about changes in area. Compare using Pick's theorem to using pixel counts as methods for comparing areas on satellite images.
