Open source softwares are creating waves in education. I am exploring and working on it since December 2006. I have realised that it has a lot of potential to transform the traditional methods of teaching/learning mathematics. I believe learning in life ia a never ending process. The time has arrived that we teachers have to take up bold initiatives to take a turn in educating the students only through chalk and talk. I have tried working on various math tools like Geogebra, C.a.R , Graph sketcher and many more .These tools are really effective.
1.Graph Sketcher lets you make elegant and precise graphs in seconds, simply by sketching what you want.I think if we incorporate technology in math education it can create miracles. As you all know it is very tedious to draw graphs on a board if done manually.With the help of these kind of softwares we can create graphs in fraction of seconds .
2. GeoGebra is a free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus.
What is GeoGebra? See About.
What does GeoGebra look like? See Screenshots and Examples.
What can I do with GeoGebra? See Help and GeoGebraWiki.
Where do I get GeoGebra? See WebStart and Download.

3. Graph is an open source application used to draw mathematical graphs in a coordinate system. Visit its official site and know more about it.http://www.padowan.dk/graph/I find this software very interesting and useful in doing analysis of graphs. It saves time and the students would be able to analyse so many graphs in one period of duration 35 minutes.
4. Free mind Mapping software
This one is really a very interesting and useful software. Know about it in detail from the following link.http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_PageI think for recapitulation of a topic in mathematics, we teachers can prepare mind maps using this software and also it would help us in keeping a track of what all we have done in a chapter and what is left uncovered? Also, mindmaps may be utilised while teaching the history of a topic, suggesting useful study links to the students, organising lesson plans etc. I find it very interesting and useful.
5.SpeQ
SpeQ is a small, extensive mathematics program with a simple, intuitive interface. All calculations are entered in a sheet. In there you can freely add, edit and execute all calculations. You can define variables and functions, and plot graphs of your functions. You can save your calculations for later re-use.
