- Mathematical Problem Solving with Interactive Spreadsheets - a CD of programs for the interactive whiteboard

Roving reporter Matthew Tosh is out and about to see a couple of the resources in action. Meanwhile, Peter and presenter Hermione Cockburn discuss the resources in the in the studio with panellists Dr Catherine Ogden, head of mathematics at Heckmondwike Grammar School in West Yorkshire and Matthew Fry, head of maths at Hextable School in Kent.
