Failsworth Sports College World Maths Day 2010 site offers a short video of third graders in contest mode! You’ll see their smiles and agonies as they race through problems and get instant results. (Yes, maths is correct in the UK and Europe.)
Kudos, World Maths Day organizers for demonstrating the level of academic performance possible for young people.
Boot up those Tablet PCs, students, and practice, practice, practice math. Some may find MathPractice a useful software program for that practice. It’s a free download.
Register starting February 1, 2010 for World Maths Day 2010 in March.
jumping minds is great, but i think they're out of business, cause i can't buy it anywhere.Darren
Thanks for you reminder, Darren. I should probably have said something earlier. Check tabletpcpost.com for a free download of several Beta releases of JumpingMinds products. Yes, Loren, the developer, has delayed releasing updates on his software and has responded slowly to emails, but I'm confident that he will want to answer your questions. You can follow more of his activities and thinking at lorenheiny.com I think he also has an email contact on that site.
