Abstract
The Casio ClassPad 300 offers new opportunities for students to
engage interactively with mathematical ideas. In this hands-on workshop,
we will explore some examples of eActivities, which are small independent
learning activities designed for this device. The main purpose of
the workshop is to understand and evaluate the unique learning opportunities
provided by an integrated, interactive hand-held device used in
this way. Examples of eActivities will be chosen to suit the learning
of mathematics across a range of levels of secondary schooling and
across a range of mathematical topics, including aspects of algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, calculus and statistics. Previous experience
with this technology will not be assumed.
