Abstract
The long-term imperative of the SimCalc project has been to democratize access to the Mathematics of Change and Variation (MCV) (Kaput, 1994)—especially algebraic ideas underlying calculus (Kaput and Roschelle, 1998)—using a combination of new dynamic technologies for representing and communicating mathematics with new curriculum materials for grades 6–13 and aligned teacher professional development.
