The .gcw file extension is utilized by Microsoft Mathematics as a worksheet file. GCW files generally contain graphs and other mathematical concepts and equations that make the Math software a useful tool for students. The program goal is to make Math an easier subject. It is not a hidden matter to anybody that Math is most likely the hardest subject for most students. But, with this tool, students will be able to learn Math the easy way. This is not a tool for cheating though, but it is a tool that would change student’s view of the Math subject because with it, no homework would be left undone. It is more of a learning tool.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .gcw files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .gcw. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
