- MegaMath!
The frontier of mathematics is an exciting place, where mathematicians experiment and play
with creative and imaginative ideas, some accessible to young children; some (infinity is
a good example) ideas have already piqued many children's curiosity, but their profound
mathematical importance is not widely known or understood. MegaMath is a project of the
Computer Research and Applications Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and is
intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms
so that young people and their teachers can think about them together.

- The Most Colorful Math of All
- Map Coloring (MegaMath)
Coloring is a profound mathematical topic with many multi-million-dollar industrial
applications. The problem presented here has been of interest to mathematicians for over a
hundred years. Some versions of the problem are easy to solve, others have yielded only
recently to relentless efforts that would not have been possible without the aid of
powerful computers. In all of its aspects, the basic problem is the same: How many colors
do you need?

- Advanced Algebra: A Graphing Calculator
Approach
A preliminary edition. In all areas of mathematics, visualization is an important aid to
understanding. Graphing calculator technology allows students to visualize algebraic
concepts - such as sequences - with graphs that provide a "visual spreadsheet"
of valuable information. This approach is at the core of Advanced Algebra, and leads to a
deeper conceptual understanding than traditional algebra textbooks. From Key Curriculum Press

connections to the idea of multiplication. Third Graders will refine and extend that same
concept.

- Teaching Discrete
Mathematics with Graphing Calculators
By Professor Fran Masat of Rowan College. During the summer of 1993, Mathematics
Department of Rowan College integrated the use of graphing calculators (TI-81's and
TI-82's) into its Discrete Mathematics classes. A major goal was to get discrete topics
into the hands of students, but without becoming bogged down in how to use a calculator.
As a part of the solution, graphing calculator worksheets (labs) were developed. Copies of
the labs are attached. Also included are topic lists, suggestions for lab use, annotated
references, and an answer key.
