Cool! Cool! Cool! MathMagic was a K-12
telecommunications project developed in El Paso, Texas by Alan A. Hodson.
The intent of the project was to provide motivation for students to use
computer technology while increasing problem solving strategies and communications
skills.

for the student's math journals for years to come.
