Welcome to the home page of the Northern Ireland Mathematics Forum.

This site contains material produced in Northern Ireland which should be of interest to mathematics teachers at secondary level and those who train them.

It is intended that teachers anywhere in the world who make use of this material and who have developed their own complementary resources should submit their work to the editors for possible inclusion in this collection.

In particular the materials refer to the Texas Instruments calculators , the TI-82 and the TI-85, and to the Casio 7700G. The materials to date have been written by the teachers on the project and are designed to help teachers introduce and use graphics calculators in the mathematics classroom. The worksheets are designed for pupil use. If you develop complementary material and would like to see it included then please send it to the editors

Course on Graphics Calculators "Teaching and Learning A-Level Mathematics with Graphics Calculators"

A two day course will be held at the Univeristy of Ulster, Jordanstown, on 7th and 8th June 2001. Click here for further details.

Hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse is the Northern Ireland Mathematics Teachers' Journal. It is produced locally and distributed locally on a shoe string budget. By publishing it on the web, we immediately make it available to a wide audience and also reduce printing and distribution costs. We hope you enjoy it and find something interesting and useful. The editor is Brian Greer (b.greer@qub.ac.uk) , Queen's University, Belfast.
