A Kakuro consists of a playing area of filled and empty cells similar to a crossword puzzle. Some black cells contain a diagonal slash from top left to bottom right with numbers in them, called "the clues".

Le Active Math

by knann
The design and development of LeActiveMath learning content aims at advancing e-learning in high schools by following a sound constructivist pedagogical approach providing a learning experience tailored to the needs of the students. ActiveMath is an intelligent learning environement that adapts to your mastery level: It tries to estimate your current knowledge, among others depending on the exercises you solved, the texts you read, etc.This book is an introduction into differential calculus. Using a hiking tour as an example, we successively introduce the notions "difference quotient", "derivative", and "derivative function". Finally, the most important rules of differentiation are treated. Note that some of the examples and exercises in this book are generated automatically, based on the data (fields of interest, state of knowledge, etc.) in your learner model. So every user gets his own individually adapted version of this book.

Experiment with color and texture directly on your model. Real-time shadow casting lets you see exactly where the sun falls as you model. Select from thousands of pre-drawn components to save time drawing. I was very impressed with the ease of use of the software along with the video tutorials and user guide that is on the site.
