Abstract

The broad aim of this research is to transfer knowledge from the experienced to the inexperienced person, and in a way to improve the teaching ability of symbolic and algebraic manipulation by delivering knowledge-based experimental kits to school la boratories of Mathematics. These kits are simple aids for special demonstrations and experiments in reasoning, based upon the paradigm of computation as controlled de — duction. Also, they envisage to raise knowledge distribution.
