Presentation Description

In 2009 I started exploring how to use Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) handhelds to help teach mathematics in Scotland. My first 18 months’ experiences were shared at the 2011 T3™ International Conference, in my session titled ‘Kilts and CAS’. A video of that session and all its resources can be downloaded from www.calculatorsoftware.co.uk/cas. ‘More Kilts and CAS’ gives an update from the last 12 months, more activities I’ve designed and more lessons both my students and I have learned. No students’ algebraic skills were harmed in the development of this session – quite the opposite, in fact.
