Flash technology has transformed the "graphing calculator" into a "handheld computer." Applications (Apps) can customize the handheld to have the appropriate features for the grade level. Examples of Apps range from the Topics in Algebra 1 App, which illustrates a "review mini e-book , " to Apps such as the Transformation Graphing App, which illustrates an interactive graphing tool, and to Apps for all disciplines such as StudyCards (TM). A brief demo will give a taste of the trends in Virtual Manipulatives (web based Java Applets) such as Base Ten Blocks and Integer Rods will also be shared.
