I was thinking about doing things as
- plotting a surface defined by z=f(x,y), or others kinds of equations
- representing the intersection of a plane and a cone...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us.
I do agree with you when you say : "1-1 (one device per pupil) is coming soon. I don’t have to do anything to make it happen. It is inevitable."

Lucky you Dan. I would recommend that you install geogebra and maxima on the machines - great free maths software. Geogebra is easy to install. I'm working on maxima.

I have 6 ordered for trial in my secondary maths classroom - i'm very excited, unfortunately they are on hold until the school's new wifi network is up and running. Let us know how you get on with it :)

Cheers, Dan

Hi Doug.

It will be up to Lynne and Robert. . There are only five machine just now so a large scale class trial will not be possible at present.

There's different "modes" for the interface!!! I now like it even more!

Are there any plans in East Lothian to trial the unit with pupils (something similar to Islay)?
