Resources that are done as demonstrations, with one computer and a projector, for the whole class to see and learn from. Resources that students do individually at their own pace. One of our goals: to help you know when to use what resources. Google Calculations Wolfram Alpha We need to change our focus from "what is the answer" to "how many different ways can you show me?" Area Explorer We need to use the computer to convince students that they don't need the computer. Except for very advanced studies of mathematics, the computer really isn't necessary. On the other hand, it's often very helpful in proving to students that it isn't necessary.
