UPDATE: I'll be co-presenting with John Iglar at Learning 2.013, using Inkscape and Sozi.

Speedgeeking quick intro to Inkscape and how it can be used as an intuitive introduction to some Math related concepts:

• Geometrical operations: union, difference, intersection, exclusion...
• Fractals, tessellations, patterns...

• Exploration of graphs of functions by moving control points of bezier curves.

It allows students (and teachers) to create art using concepts and skills that are very different from traditional art.
