Microsoft Mathematics 4.0, for students in middle school, high school, and early college, shows how to solve equations while bolstering understanding of fundamental math concepts. It features built-in Ink Handwriting Support, which lets you hand-write math problems and equations in a worksheet area on a tablet or ultra-mobile PCs for immediate solving or later work. The software also includes a graphing calculator capable of plotting in 2D and 3D, a movie editor, a library of formulas and equations, a triangle solver, and more.

Using the equation editor that comes with Microsoft Word, equations can be inserted into Word, PowerPoint, or any application that supports OLE (Object Linking and Embedding). Although most of this document provides instructions pertaining to Word, the procedures for inserting and editing equations in Word are the same as for PowerPoint. Some PowerPoint specific notes can be found at the end of this document.

These problems were created as part of the EUSES research studies about teaching students to use spreadsheets. They have proven very useful and helpful to students so we post them here for free use among teachers. Primarily these problems are of the level of middle to high school students and feature math concepts taught through the use of spreadsheets. The files used are available, you will need Microsoft Word and Excel.

At this page you find some selected links ordered by topic, where we have laid emphasis on interactive learning material which needs no download or additional software, although some spreadsheets (requiring Microsoft Excel to run on your computer) and other media have been included.
