[Yr7-10it] maths applications

[Marcel van Otterdyk]

Hi Phil,

I have been using google sketchup with my classes. It's a great freeware
program the kids love using. Very intuitive and allows for heaps of
creativity. I have attached a worksheet I used with my year 7's.

Some other good freebies are :

Geogebra.
Tux math scrabble
Lego Digital designer 


We have been using the Lego NXT Robotics kits in a Math & Science unit. Kids
enjoyed that also.

regards,

Marcel van Otterdyk

Hi all,
I'm asking about applications programs specifically related to maths so
that our maths dept can increase their use of ICT.  We have adopted
Mathletics due to a recommendation from this list so thank you.
Do any of you particularly recommend any of Cabri II, Equation grapher,
GrafEq, GraphMatica, Mathcad Explorer or Poly? These are for year 11. Any
other recommended programs for years 7-10?
I've signed up our maths co-ord to edulists so she can ask in other
branches. I thought I'd post here cos these questions are kind of
interdisciplinary.
