This paper chronicles the Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Videodisk (TMMUIV) pilot project. The project emerged in response to the need to train pre-service teachers in, among other things, the use of mathematics manipulatives. The project now can offer a video database and pilot instructional program that combines full-motion video, digitized audio, text, and graphics. Two instructional modes, classroom presentation and stand alone tutorial, help the teacher develop a repertoire of techniques. The report catalogs all the system's components and provides a brief history of the genesis of the project and subsequent improvements. Formative evaluation was conducted at approrpiate times throughout the course of the project and included informal review by project staff, review by outside experts and the advisory board, and field trails conducted over a 2-year period in mathematics methods classes.
