MAA Contributed Paper Session:
Mathlets for Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Joint Mathematics Meetings 2010, San Francisco

This session seeks to provide a forum in which presenters may demonstrate mathlets and related materials that they have created or further developed. Mathlets are small computer-based (but ideally platform-independent) interactive tools for teaching math, frequently developed as World Wide Web materials such as scripts or Java applets, but there may be many other innovative variations. Mathlets allow students to experiment with and visualize a variety of mathematical concepts, and they can be easily shared by mathematics instructors around the world. This session is sponsored by the MAA Committee on Technology in Mathematics Education (CTiME).
