We have the offer of a calculus book for elementary grades. Please take a look at Don's Web site,
and let us discuss what it would take to get this done up in a series of Etoys projects. If others think it worthwhile, I will invite Don here.
I am also proposing that FLOSS Manuals publish the book, and will ask on the Sugar list whether anybody would like to work on this as a regular Sugar activity in Python.

Hi Edward, To begin with, I would like to contribute my book Calculus By and for Young People-Worksheets (in ebook form, which is being done by a former student, and will be ready by May). The book is in Socratic format, asking questions leading to the different ideas, with an answer section in each chapter. I have it on a CD now, in pdf form but wanted to make minor changes-like my new email address, new website address..Would anyone there like a copy of this CD? There is a list of materials that would help, in the appendix.
I'd be willing to talk to anyone interested in seeing what can come from this.
Don
