        Materials for math teaching

Welcome to my web site!

 

I'm Antonija Horvatek, math teacher from Croatia. On this site you can find The Geometer's Sketchpad (gsp) files and Power Point (ppt) presentations that explain basics about:

 

 

         

- fractions

- decimal numbers

- integers

- rational numbers

 

- equations

- functions

- perimeter and area

- plane transformations

- Pythagoras' theorem

- space geometry

- statistic and probability

 

 

I usually use them with projector.

 

 

 

If you think these materials can help your students understand math better, you can use them in your classes. However, if you would like to use them for other purposes (e.g. in arcticles, lectures, textbooks etc.), then is necessary to ask and to get permission of the author.

Anyway, all suggestions, comments, corrections etc. would be very welcome.
