Interactivities to Make You Inquisitive
Throughout history, mathematicians have used tools and technology to help them to spot patterns, develop conjectures, and make generalisations. We hope your curiosity will be tickled by the interactivities in these tasks, and that by exploring with a computer or tablet, you will have a deeper mathematical understanding than you might otherwise have had.
