There are three options for you to choose from:

  1. Access the Maple Worksheets directly. This allows you to view, copy, edit and print the activities. All coding is  written in Maple 6.
  2. This is a view only option of both the student and instructor worksheets.  These worksheets show the necessary Maple code and animations and may be downloaded but not modified by the user. The Instructor Worksheet is an abbreviated version of the Student Worksheet and is designed for easy importation into the instructional delivery plan.
  3. This is a collection of GIF animations for each module.
