Oh sure! Yeah, definitely - I was debating about whether to then introduce
writing a general sigma function. It would be such an easy and obvious next
step, bu
Using technology in the mathematics classroom - such as Sage - to bring
about the elusive "a ha" moment is truly a thing of beauty! Congrats!

I 'm in the process of writing a Sage tutorial at http://arachnoid.com/sage.
I'm about about halfway through the project, the completed pages may

A few days ago I had an amazingly successful lesson on sigma using sage
interval notation and list comprehension.
I gave the kids a bunch of sigma expressions to evaluate. I told them I
wasn't concerned about the final value so much as about their ability to
translate these expressions into list
