Entering into Symbols
The Entering into Symbols (EIS) project has been developed as a collaboration between Sue Johnston-Wilder and Alan Graham of the Centre for Mathematics Education at the Open University, UK. They have produced applets to explore school mathematics concepts and can be successfully executed on either a standard computer screen or on the interactive whiteboard.
