Objectives
Conference mathPAD 2006 is the 5 th of the mathPAD conferences that were organized in recent years: Piotrków Trybunalski – July 2002, Zakopane – June 2003, Toruń – June 2004, Toruń – July 2005.
All mathPAD conferences have two major objectives:
(1) promote mathematics teaching with computer technology,
(2) promote European software for teaching mathematics – MuPAD, Cabri, JavaView, and Cinderella.
.
Conference Activities
- Lectures on using mathematical software in the classroom
- Demonstration of lessons with MuPAD, Cabri and Cinderella
- Seminars and working sessions
- Tutorials
- MuPAD and Cabri training (for starters)
- MuPAD and Cabri training (advanced level)
- Evening discussions
- Excursion to an interesting place in Toruń or near Toruń.
