LEARNING MATH: GEOMETRY
The Annenberg/CPB Channel
Starts January 28, 2003
http://www.learner.org/resources/resource.html?uid=167
Available in 2003, Learning Math: Geometry, is a video- and
Web-based course for elementary and middle school teachers.
Geometric reasoning is introduced as a method for problem
solving. Some important geometric ideas, such as symmetry,
similarity, and trigonometry, will also be examined. The
course material progresses from more visual, intuitive ways
of solving problems to more formal explorations of geometric
ideas, properties, and proofs.
Registration is recommended at least three weeks in advance
of the start of a workshop or course to ensure that support
materials reach you in time. Register at no cost by calling
1-800-LEARNER or signing up at:

GRAPH IT! - Patrik Lundin
http://www.coolmath.com/graphit/index.html
Graph It! provides a functional online graphing calculator.
The Java applet has all the common operators and functions as
expected from any scientific calculator, combined with
function graphing capabilities. The calculator has the ability
to graph the hyperbolic functions and symbolically
differentiate functions in one variable, making it a tool for
higher-level algebra and calculus students. Instructions are
listed below the calculator.
