[Yr7-10it] maths applications

[Gangopadhyay, Purna P]

Hi Phil,

I used MicroWorlds (also called Logo) with Year 7s in the topic of Shapes. There are some
example activities in Heinemann Maths Zone for yr 7, in Shapes. My yr7 students enjoyed
using the software. 

We already have the software for the IT units, taught at school. 
Hope this helps (a little!).

Purna.

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.
