A collection of interactive math tools, Let’s Do Math: Tools and Things combines a graphing package with a graphing calculator. The graphing capabilities are also linked to a database of 1,100 math terms and definitions.

Many descriptions are accompanied by activities aimed at assessing the student’s understanding of the principle demonstrated. A bookmark feature enables users to develop a personal path through the program and to revisit particularly interesting or instructive materials.

 

Instructors may also use the program to enhance their mathematics lessons.
