New Product Launch at the BETT Show, London, UK

We were at the BETT Show in the ExCel Centre in London!

I am pleased to announce that yesterday (January 30th) we launched our interactive, cross-platform teaching and learning tools, Classroom Professor Gadgets.

Professor Pete’s Gadgets are designed to interactively support students’ development of mathematical thinking, by presenting them with symbols, pictures and words which they can manipulate to understand how they relate to each other.

For example, they can see how common fractions, percentages, decimal fractions and ratios relate to each other, what they look like in a pictorial form and where they sit on a number line between 0 and 1:
