Abstract
This paper describes the rationale for the forthcoming Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and accompanying electronic pedagogical examples. Many of these electronic examples are part of a web-based national library of virtual tools and manipulatives being developed at Utah State University with support from the National Science Foundation. Also included is a review of research on the use of computer-based manipulatives, description of applet design considerations and characteristics, and a discussion of research implications.
