Hi,
this looks really cool (i've only checked out the screenshots yet, but i'm 
going to check out your code soon..)
It seems to me like a very valuable addition to KDE-Edu, which would make it 
more useful to older children (i mean children at the end of high school) as 
well.
In my school, we use two programs in math class: 
Cabri, which is a mathematic figure drawing program ("interactive geometry") 
which my prog Kig (currently in kdenonbeta) aims to be a replacement for, and
Derive, which does what your prog does (+ some more things (integrating funcs 
etc.)).

If both programs continue to improve, KDE could provide free and better 
alternatives for both: hoorah !
have fun
