"So, for those who did not receive any of these three proofs
and who would find such refreshing to read during summertime,
then let me know which [you] would like to read and have as a
Word file and I'll forward such to you."

GEOGEBRA APPLETS BY ANTONIJA HORVATEK
http://www.antonija-horvatek.from.hr/applets/math-applets.htm
Antonija Horvatek has recently translated some of her GeoGebra
applets into English:
- coloring the fractional part of the figure
- express the colored part by using a fraction
- mixed numbers
- a fractional part of a group
- decimal numbers on the number line
- multiply decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000 etc.
- divide decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000 etc.
- convert length and area units
- transversal
- angles with parallel lines and angles with
perpendicular lines
- triangle area
- square root spiral
- square roots on a number line
- the 25 squares game
Horvatek, who teaches math in Croatia, continues to share these
and other resources through the
geometry.software.dynamic newsgroup:

(HPM) recently announced its West Coast meeting, set for
October 26-28, 2012, on the campus of University of
California, Berkeley.
HPM seek a variety of talks on the relation between the history
and pedagogy of mathematics. Talks directly relevant to the use
of the history of mathematics in mathematics classrooms are
especially welcome, as are reports of studies relating history
and pedagogy.
Send the title and abstract of your talk proposal, along with
contact information, to Kathy Clark by
e-mailing drkclark@gmail.com
Special features of this meeting include a rare book exhibit and
