Writing an Interactive Mathematics Text
In this article, we explain what we mean by an "interactive mathematics text"; we describe its goals, contents, and pedagogical methods; and we explain the thinking that went into in writing our text, Visual Linear Algebra.
Creating Mathlets with Open Source Tools

In this article we present a collaborative environment of open source tools around the dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra that gives educators the freedom to create new and modify existing materials in an online community.

Complex Function Grapher
A mathlet for constructing graphs of functions of a complex variable, using color as the fourth dimension.
Life After Wolfram|Alpha: What You (and Your Students) Need to Know

This article introduces several basic features of Wolfram|Alpha, provides examples, and discusses along the way how this new technology can influence what we do in our classrooms.

Simple Database Construction Using Local Sources of Data
This ESTEEM module in the Biometrics Category describes construction of three simple databases using a spreadsheet. Recommendations for building simple databases using a computer spreadsheet and the statistical analysis of its data are given.
Area from Hand-Drawn Functions
The "area function" is often discussed as part of an introduction to the definite integral. This applet provides an innovative approach to producing functions drawn with a mouse in the context of an exploration/demonstration of the area function.
Using Connected Curriculum Project Modules
A report on the use of the Connected Curriculum Project materials in multivariable calcus and differential equations at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
SOCR Distribution Activities
These applets and educational materials demonstrate the shapes and parameters for several commonly used discrete and continuous probability distributions. It is part of the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR).
Three Views of Systems of Linear Equations
This Mathwright Microworld allows a student to look at systems of linear equations as (1) simultaneous linear equations, (2) vector equations, and (3) matrix equations.
Bloom's Taxonomy in Developing Assessment Items
An article describing the development of a database for online formative assessment to be used as independent or supplemental material for a precalculus course.
