Mastermind
This zip file contains 2 program files, both required to run the program
Mastermind.
This program was written by Sally
Crighton (currently of the Open University) and is hosted here
with her permission.
The program is self explanatory and simulates the old board game of
the same name where you have to guess correctly a 4 digit number.
This program can be run in both 1 player, or 2 player mode and either
3 o 4 digit numbers can be guessed.
A good program for developing students' ability to design a systematic
search process!

Navigate
This zip file contains 1 pdf file, 1 program file and 3 image files.
Originally written in 1997 by MadMaths (a.k.a. Calum Stewart and Derek
Simpson) the progam is hosted here with their permission.
The pdf file contains program instructions and a worksheet.
You need to install the progam and the 3 image files
onto your calculator [if you have a TI83+ or TI84+, I'd recommend
you GROUP these 4 files together.]
This program is the definitive resource for practising bearings ...
and is great fun as well!
