In general, we tell the Mathematical Story above the Microworld, and place the Interaction Instructions below it.

The Story:

This book is an introductory module on the concept of a point.

The reader learns

1. to plot a point if coordinates are given
2. to read the coordinates if the point is given
3. to determine the distance between two points
4. to determine collinearity of three points

Two pages in this book help students plot points and determine distance either individually or in groups of two or more. These exercises invite the students to play a game while learning how to plot points!

Interaction Instructions:

The exploration pages give explanations of the steps to take in the exploration on the screen.
