(CAN, WCP) This resource package is a publishing system that allows teachers to draw from a collection of thousands of items arranged in topics. Most questions are of multiple-choice format, but these can be recast in open-ended format by removing the distractors. The emphasis is on procedural items, with limited conceptual and problem-solving examples. The technology assumed is that of the scientific calculator rather than that of the graphing calculator.

Green Globs & Graphing Equations (Computer Software). Dugdale, Sharon and Kibbey, David. Sunburst Communications (LRDC), 1997. 75 p. Macintosh/Windows - Order no. 1365 ($162.40 binder).
System Requirements:
(WCP) This resource has two components: a basic graphing utility and an interactive series of games. The graphing utility allows the user to graph linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, absolute value, and trigonometric relations. The games require students to effectively relate points on the graph and the equations of functions and/or relations. At its highest level, students must first probe using equations of vertical and horizontal lines to determine the location of points, and then must determine the exact equations that they represent. This tool provides a hands-on experience for the students when learning the connections between relations and the resulting graphs.
A teacher’s guide accompanies the disc and provides ideas and worksheets.

(CAN, WCP) The interactive lessons in the resource package lessons follow the pattern of an introduction, followed by a tutorial, a summary of concepts, practice problems, extra practice, and a self check. Students are able to monitor their own progress through the various components of each lesson.
The three CD-ROMs are sequenced, starting with Number, and continuing through Patterns and Relations, Shape and Space, and Statistics and Probability. In total there are 46 lessons in the complete set. The program is very interactive and uses many "explorers," which allow the student to simulate mathematics concepts that involve the factoring of polynomials using algebra tiles, solving right triangles, volume and surface area, and linear relations. Also included on the CD-ROM is a glossary that students can access as a pull-down menu. Students can also set the sound level to their own liking. When working within the program, students can control the pace of moving through the material. Motivational strategies are also included. Students are required to correctly answer questions; and as they do, a portion of a puzzle is uncovered until a complete picture is revealed.
The student refresher follows the organization of the CD-ROMs and provides additional examples for students. Answers for each question are located at the end of the document.
The teacher’s manual begins with installation notes for stand-alone Windows 95, NT and 3.1, and Macintosh computers. Minimum system requirements are noted. The manual continues with network installation procedures and troubleshooting notes. The instructional components are also summarized. There are cross-references to the student refresher and to the objectives, terminology, and lesson components on the appropriate CD-ROM. Prerequisite skills are also listed.

Computerized Assessment Bank
(CAN, WCP) The content of the text best correlates to at least some portion of the following content areas and courses:
The teacher’s resource contains extensive teaching notes, including enrichment and reteaching ideas, a list of prerequisite skills, and assessment strategies. Also included are suggestions for addressing the use of prerequisite skills, and assessment strategies. Additionally, there are suggestions for addressing the use of technology and the mathematical processes, especially communication, mental mathematics, problem solving, and connections. Some answers for problems are provided, with one solution being given for those problems with multiple approaches/solutions. Blackline masters are included for grid, dot and geometric net shapes, and for alternate assessment forms.
The computer data bank includes five extensive, high interest databases- movies, sports, skiing, Olympics, and insurance- together with a teacher’s resource. In addition to application blackline masters for student work, software specific blackline masters are included to help teach database management skills. Questions address a wide variety of outcomes.
This Windows-based (3.1 or 95), computerized assessment bank software package includes a manual, a mathematical editor and a question bank. There are about 50 questions per chapter. Some multiple-choice questions can have their distractors reordered; and, for many other questions, the user can change key parameters in the stem, whereupon the program will change the distractors with a click of a button. The mathematical editor allows teachers to add questions to address more fully the philosophy of the program.
The blackline masters supplement Mathpower 10 student and teacher’s resources. The blackline masters provide an introduction to mathematics, which includes learning styles, goal setting, section questions, chapter reviews, two chapter tests (all short answer style) from each chapter, cumulative reviews and several projects.
The solutions manual supplements the Mathpower 10 students and teacher’s resources, and gives a step-by-step solution to every question from the student text.
Manipulatives, such as algebra titles and suitable software are necessary for using the resource effectively. These are not supplied with the resource.
Please note that references are made in both the student and the teacher materials to specific Internet websites. The websites are not approved. Teachers, for their own protection, should review the current status of the websites, including documents identified in the links, to ensure that the sites contain accurate information and information that meets the criteria for social considerations. Also note that teachers should consult any list of approved calculators or other calculator policy that applies to their jurisdiction, and use the resource in a manner that is consistent with the calculator policy.
