It shows the possible inner workings of the logic gates. The user can build elementary logic machines that function. Use the "guide" link to view a list of videos as support material. ***FEATURED TOOL Tool: MathScaled http://mathforum.org/mathtools/tool/198847/ CAST, Inc. MathScaled is a prototype series of puzzles based on a balance-scale format. The goal is to place different shapes with unknown weights on the scale so that it is balanced. Puzzles have embedded supports for solving, such as a Scratch Pad for recording information and the option for immediate feedback on your progress. Learners can also choose from different levels of puzzle challenge. ***FEATURED TOOL Tool: MathSquared http://mathforum.org/mathtools/tool/198848/ CAST, Inc. MathSquared is a prototype series of grid-based puzzles using basic math operations that help learners develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies. Puzzles have different levels of challenge and include embedded supports for solving, such as a Scratch Pad for recording information that supports problem solving and the option for immediate feedback on your progress. \|/ As you browse the catalog, please take a moment to rate a resource, comment on it, review it -- join an existing conversation, or start a new discussion!
