Saltire is host to a variety of math software that teaches though exploration. From algebra and geometry through calculus, students can explore and reflect on problems to gain new insights to mathematics.

For years Saltire have been developing educational software. Now the company also provides materials, sensors and associated software to make data-gathering a simple and reliable task for teachers and students from the early grades through high school. These new products are sold under the name Saltire Scientific. All the new products are designed to work particularly well with Casio Data Analyzers and graphing calculators, further enhancing student's educational experiences.

The Casio ClassPad 300 is the natural evolution of the graphing calculator. This pen input calculator comes packed with an impressive collection of applications that support self-study, like 3D Graph, Geometry, eActivity, and lots more. A big 160 x 240-dot LCD touch screen enables easy and intuitive stylus-based operation. Learn how the Classpad can be used in the classroom with free Classpad explorations.

Saltire's Geometry Gallery is a collection of Java applets showing interesting geometry configurations. All applets are dynamic in that user input can cause the configuration to change. In some cases, points can be dragged. In other cases dimensions can be changed via edit controls. Some of the applets feature animation.

Math Xpander is an application that resulted from investigations within laboratories at Hewlett Packard. It supports real time interactions between users and mathematical objects with a stylus in multiple representations: graphic, symbolic, and numeric. Saltire Software contributed a geometry engine that supports geometric constructions in the application. math Xpander is available as a free download for Pocket PC devices running Windows CE.

Saltire specializes in the development of software with high mathematical content. Our current areas of mathematical expertise include: interactive geometry, symbolic mathematics, mechanism design and optimization. Assisted by a series of National Science Foundation grants we are applying these core technologies to a variety of areas in mathematics education. We have contributed to educational projects sponsored by Casio, Hewlett Packard, as well as Texas Instruments. more...
