Using Web-Based Assignments in Secondary School Mathematics
This paper reports experiences in constructing web-based questions and assignments and delivering weekly exercises and formative tests of mathematics at upper secondary level in the Helsinki School of Nat-ural Sciences.
During the WebALT project 2006-2007 and after it we have been con-structing over 1000 algorithmic and interactive web-based questions for upper secondary level. The software we have used is MapleTA.

T-algebra – Intelligent Environment for Expression Manipulation Exercises
Abstract.
T-algebra is an interactive learning environment for exercises in four areas of school mathematics: calculation of the values of numerical expressions; operations with fractions; solving of linear equations, inequalities and linear equation systems; operations with monomials and polynomials. The student solves the task step by step. At each solution step the student selects the operation, indicates the subexpression(s) to be changed and enters the result of conversion. The program checks all three stages of the step, gives feedback and hints. T-algebra implements 61 task types.

Mathematics curriculum development in Finland – unexpected effects
Curricula changes in the Finnish school system have happened in ten year intervals. In mathematics they have followed the international trends. The most obvious changes are the following:
1. Mathematics at school became descriptive - exact definitions and proofs were largely omitted.
2. Geometry and trigonometry were neglected.
3. Computations were performed by calculators and numbers and not on a more advanced level.

Technologies in the Mathematics University Schools
Teachers and students at universities today are surrounded by diverse technologies, but the average profit got from them is not very high, and in addition it presents great variability too. The effects of technology on the curriculum seem to be rather peripheral, even for the new Bologna degrees, and for most people it is not clear, at least in the case of Mathematics, how curricula could be modified to optimize learning with the help of the available technologies. In this talk these issues will be analyzed by first presenting the current situation and then advancing possible ways forward.

Impact of ICT on the Teaching of Maths to VIP (Visually Impaired People)
The study of Mathematics has always been particularly difficult for blind individuals. Indeed we can observe that a large majority of blind pupils do not succeed in maths studies, while the average mainstream pupil succeeds more easily. As maths is crucial in most science disciplines, this limits study options and future job opportunities for blind people. We assert that there is no reason that mathematical semantics can not be understood because of blindness; rather the biggest barrier is access to mathematical content, which can only be through speech or Braille.
