All About Pi: Everything You Need to Know & Then Some ~ The concept of pi is deceivingly simple. Pi is the ratio between a circle’s circumference and its diameter, and it always works out to 3.14… But it's those three “dot-dot-dots” that make pi so fascinating. Pi is a never-ending number and that sense of infinity has attracted both advanced mathematicians as well as beginning math students for hundreds of years. This article breaks down some of the facts and mysteries about pi into four sections: Fun Facts About Pi, Advanced Facts About Pi, Pi in Pop Culture, and Sites and Resources About Pi. There’s information for everyone from the pi newbie to pi fans and math nerds alike.

Math Games The math games in this book have come from numerous sources. Many are variations on traditional western games, some ideas were originally seen in educational catalogues and then adapted, and some were created to help reinforce a particular concept. This book was written primarily for children with learning difficulties. However as the games are intended for reinforcing the very basics, they would therefore be suitable for any child between 3 and 11 years old. All the games can, and should, be adapted for the teaching situation and the specific group of children. The ideas are not fixed: if, for example, a group of children is fascinated by animals, buying cheap toy animals to use as 'counters' to move in a game really does hold their attention. All the games were made from basic materials such as cardboard, paper, glue, junk and cheap toys available from many shops and stalls; probably the most expensive 'ingredient' was the clear plastic that is used to cover everything. This is because I find it prolongs the life and cleanliness of the games by a great extent. Throughout this book I do try to stress that it is very important to play these games either sitting around a low table or on the floor in a circle. It is then much easier for the children to watch one another and especially the teacher: this gives them vital clues on how to play the game. The children can also begin to learn the lesson of 'waiting their turn', which is very important but difficult for most young children to grasp.

Algebra Flash! It is difficult to decide whether this is a lesson on algebra that uses Flash or a lesson on Flash that uses algebra. It was the result of two lessons close to the end of the 1999-2000 school year. The aim was to illustrate the different ways that a web-based algebra lesson could be made interactive.

Bessel Functions This graphics tool essentially plots Bessel functions of all integral orders. What it actually plots are the Taylor's series and the asymptotic series simultaneously. The order of the function may be specified interactively, and several graphs can be viewed at the same time. This tool can be used in an intuitive way, through zooming, to evaluate a Bessel function at selected points, or to find its zeroes. This is part of a larger project that will eventually handle a much wider range of functions. Adding a function to the list of available functions is not too difficult, but requires writing the new function in Java as well (unfortunately) some of the core code.
