Essential Mathematics Toolbox is a toolbox of resources to enhance the teaching and learning of secondary mathematics. The files and programs can be used to introduce new topics and revise ones learnt earlier. The CD-ROM contains files for use with a variety of software applications, including Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Cabri Geometry and Geometer's Sketchpad, and programs for use with TI-Graph Link 83 Plus and Casio FA-123 graphics calculators. The Essential Mathematics Toolbox resources can be loaded onto individual school computers allowing presentation of the materials in the classroom using a data projector, or they can be installed on a school network.
