Özet
Teacher oriented, limited with the time and bordered with the walls of the classroom traditional education methods are being replaced with self-paced, learner oriented constructivist tendencies. Computer technology gives a lot of opportunities to prepare instructional materials on that purpose. Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are the software that can do more than a calculator. Appropriate use of the right software enhances teaching and learning the math and math related courses like Physics. In this paper, a sample computer algebra system package performed with wxMaxima on the topics of Freely falling objects Throwing Upward and Projectile Motion is represented. The package involves dynamic worksheets that can be used in teaching and learning the topics. Calculations, tables, graphics and programming techniques about the topics that one needs during instructional activities inside and outside the classroom are implemented. The package can be downloaded from http://www.turgutozal.edu.tr/tsirin/dosyalar.aspx?MENUID=76. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
