All simulations are integrated in one educational package and support each other as in the real modern computer systems.

As part of the project we are sharing series of video clips. This series of video clips in mathematics was selected from a 2 hour collaborative problem solving session with a diverse group of students. The aim of the session was to encourage the sharing and generation of mathematical thinking and to encourage students to articulate their thinking publically. The teacher starts by setting a series of mathematical problems that each small group are required to solve without the aid of calculators and under a tight time limit. At the end of this time period each group is required to provide their solutions and to present to the rest of the class, their methods and solutions to at least one of the questions. This form of group problem solving in mathematics encourages students to articulate their thinking, test their conjectures, and make mistakes, etc. in a small and ‘safe space’ before presenting their ideas to the whole group. The imposition of tight time limits encouraged the students to pool their resources but this can also encourage a focus on completing the task by individual specialisation, thus limiting the sharing of knowledge and development of strengths and weaknesses across the whole group. This ‘specialisation’ can be seen in one or two of the clips. The clips also show small groups presenting their methods and solutions to the whole group. The teacher does not immediately respond to the group but instead invites comments, alternative methods, and encourages deeper mathematical thinking. Evidence of academic engagement and mathematical thinking can be seen in the ways students explain aloud how they had got stuck, how they arrived at their answer, by talking through their thought processes, identifying the knowledge they were drawing on, and by calling on other students to join in and share their thinking. Finally, the students explain how they feel about working collaboratively in mathematics. They describe the benefits of collaboration and the importance of creating an environment of trust and support. This is key to an inclusive learning environment.
