Description:

The software used with these lessons will typically be used in one of three modes: (1) Classroom Discussion-Demo using an overhead display and software configured either by parameter-setting html documents or manually for classroom demonstration and discussion; (2) Students working activities based on the printed activity sheets, where the activity sheets specify the appropriate software activity to use (which will supply its appropriate configurations); and (3) Students engaged in online Challenge Activities based on software-generated challenges-usually, but not necessarily within a curriculum sequence.
