Description
A book about using micros in learning mathematics. Each chapter refers to worksheets, which may be photocopied for class use. The worksheets can be used by groups working together with a micro or as a focus for class discussion of the programs involved, and suggest ideas for activities on related topics. The disc includes most of the programs referred to in the chapters, and the reader is encouraged to adapt and add to these. The chapters are independent of each other, since the book is designed as a resource book to be dipped into and selected from.
