Student Activity Resources

Some of them have documentation along with one or more .gsp (Geometers Sketch Pad) or .ftm (Fathom) files. Some just have documentation describing exercises, some just have one or .gsp or .ftm files. There are even a few movies. These were produced or found during the workshops by the participating teachers. You can identify the type of file by the file extension. (Material at the same bullet line or major heading, may be related, but maybe not, so searching for terms is recommended.) We hope you will find them useful - they are for you to explore and use as you see fit to improve STEM education.
Note - Clicking on a file name will either open it (e.g. for a .pdf) or download it.
Safari Warning - It appears that while Safari downloads files, for .ftm and .gsp files it will add ".txt" to the end of the file name, but not alter the file contents. So, after downloading, just change the file name to remove the ".txt".
