Title of presentation:	Derive 6 - A Computer Program for Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Abstract:
Derive is a very mature computer algebra system for PCs, its roots go back to the late Seventies. It is the first computer algebra system which was widely used as a tool for teaching and learning mathematics. Many ministries and school authorities throughout Europe have adopted Derive as the primary computer tool for mathematics education. Derive 6 is the newest version with a lot of features which support teachers and students in a mathematics class. We give an overview of Derive 6 with emphasis on these more pedagogical product features. We demonstrate these features with appropriate classroom examples from lower and upper secondary school mathematics and put them into a general didactical framework.
