Hi Sage community! I'm writing my master's thesis on on the usage of Sage in high school level mathematics. As a part of the project I've programmed various interactive applications and other examples which can be used in teaching and learning environment.
I'm very grateful to the community of Sage for producing such a versatile and valuable program that can be applied in education (in addition to its other uses). I want to thank you by contributing some of my work here in hope that it would benefit other teachers utilizing Sage in their classes and to advance the use of Sage in education. In the links below there are worksheets containing the code of the programs. I've also taken screenshots of each application, so that one can get a quick impression of the programs without having to log in to Sage.

Also, if you have suggestions how I could make these programs better, please share your thoughts. Please note that I’ve tried to keep these programs as clear and simple as possible; there is no error handling and they may not be fully optimized in terms of Sage’s faster variable types. The thesis will be published online when it’s ready (in Finnish). Thank you!
