Sharon Dugdale and David Kibbey, authors of the original version of Green Globs, an algebra and graphing software, have newly revised and updated it to run on all versions of Mac OS X. Single user, multi-user, school, district, and other licenses are available. Bundles include
- Equation Grapher
- Linear & Quadratic Graphs
- Green Globs
- Tracker
- Teacher Options - tools for teachers to manage records files
Dugdale and Kibbey also offer a mailing list for news about the greenglobs.net website, updates to the popular software, and additional software offerings.

Dugdale announced the release of Green Globs to the Forum's
Math Tools discussion, where she has "very much enjoyed
reading comments." Upon seeing her post, longtime Green Globs
enthusiast Ihor Charischak replied:
"This is great News! Just in time for folks to get to prepare for the global 'Great Green Globs Contest' which I will be announcing later this month and will be happening in late May."
To participate in the conversation about Green Globs with one
of its developers, or other discussions on the use and
development of software for mathematics education, join the
Math Tools community. Registration is free:
