Learn about factors through building rectangular
arrays on a grid. |

|
Learn about factors through building rectangular
arrays on a grid. |
|
|
Helps students to convert fractions to decimals and
decimals to fractions. |
|
|
Graphically determine the value of 2 given
fractions represented as points on a number line then graphically find a
fraction whose value is in between the value of the 2 given fractions
and determine its value. |
|
|
Similar to "Fraction Pointer" but the
user gives the values for the fractional points on the number line
rather than having the computer randomly generate them. |
|
|
Similar to "Fraction Pointer" but there
is no arrow to help the user determine the value of a fraction between
the two endpoints. |
|
|
The same as "Bounded Fraction Pointer"
but there is no arrow to help the user determine the value of a fraction
between the two endpoints. |
|
|
Students represents fractions by coloring in the
approptiate portions of either a circle or a square, then order those
fractions from least to greatest. |
|
|
Visually represent equivalent fractions by dividing
squares or circles and shading portions equivalent to a given fraction.
Also shows the fractional value on a number line as you color in the
fraction. |
|
|
Visually represent equivalent fractions by dividing
squares or circles and shading portions equivalent to a given fraction.
Also shows the fractional value on a number line after you check to see
if your fraction is correct. |
|
|
Students play a generalized version of connect
four, gaining the chance to place a piece on the board by simplifying a
fraction. Parameters: Level of difficulty of fractions to simplify. |
|
|
A game like Fraction Four but instead of fraction
questions the player must answer arithmetic questions (addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division) to earn a piece to place on the
board. Parameters: time limit, difficulty level, types of questions |
|
|
A game like Fraction Four but asks the players to
estimate the answer within a given time span. Parameters: time limit,
error tolerance, difficulty level |
|
|
Practice estimation skills by determining the
number of objects, length, or area. Parameters: error tolerance. |
|
|
Similar to Estimator but compares two sets of
objects. |
|
|
Similar to Estimator activity but states a quantity
and asks the user to estimate whether the set of objects is more or less
than the number given. |
|
|
Students learn about classifying numbers into
various categories through answering questions about Venn Diagrams. |
|
|
Sort colored shapes into a Venn Diagram.
Appropriate for elementary grades. |
|
|
Students learn about number patterns in sequences
and recursions by specifying a starting number, multiplier and add-on. |
|
|
Students color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by
rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that are multiples of
the number rolled, thereby practicing multiplication tables
investigating number patterns, and investigating fractal patterns. |
|
|
Students color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by
rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that have the same
remainder when divided by the number rolled, thereby practicing
multiplication tables, investigating number patterns, and investigating
fractal patterns. |
|
|
Students learn about modular arithmetic operations
through working with various types of clocks. Parameters: Number of
hours on the clock. |
|
|
Students practice simple arithmetic skills by
encoding and decoding messages using an affine cipher. |
|
Students practice simple arithmetic skills by
encoding and decoding messages to determine the form for an affine
cipher. |
|
|
Students practice their reasoning and arithmetic
skills by decoding messages to determine the form for an affine cipher. |
|
|
Students step through the tortoise and hare race,
based on Zeno's paradox, to learn about the multiplication of fractions
and about convergence of an infinite sequence of numbers. |
|
|
Students learn about fractions between 0 and 1 by
repeatedly deleting portions of a line segment, also learning about
properties of fractal objects. Parameter: fraction of the segment to be
deleted each time. |
|
|
Determine and then continue the pattern generated. |

| Linear Equations/Graphs |
|
This activity allows the manipulation of a linear
function of the form f(x)=mx+b and encourages the user to explore the
relationship between slope and intercept in the cartesian coordinate
system. |
|
|
A more advanced version of Slope Slider, this
activity allows the manipulation of the constants and coefficients in
any function thereby encouraging the user to explore the effects on the
graph of the function by changing those numbers. |
|
|
Similar to Function Flyer, but with the capability
of plotting data points as well as a function. Then you can tweak the
function to fit the data. |
|
Students can plot ordered pairs of numbers, either
as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. |
|
|
Another version of "Simple Plot" which
allows the user to plot and connect ordered pairs in the order that they
are input. This enables pictures to be drawn by connecting the pairs
rather than having the computer connect them from left to right. |
|
|
Students can create graphs of functions by entering
formulas -- similar to a graphing calculator. |
|
|
Students can graph functions and sets of ordered
pairs on the same coordinate plane -- similar to a graphing calculator. |
|
|
Students investigate the Cartesian coordinate
system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that
a particular point be plotted. |
|
|
Students investigate the first quadrant of the
Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of
points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. |
|
|
Students investigate the Cartesian coordinate
system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. |
|
|
Students investigate the first quardant of the
Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field
laid out on the plane. |
|
|
Students investigate very simple functions by
trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs. |
|
|
Students investigate linear functions by trying to
guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs. |
|
|
Students investigate linear functions with positive
slopes by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and
outputs. |
|
|
Similar to the original "Function
Machine" but lists input and output in a table and will not let the
user attempt to guess the rule on without at least having two data
points. |
|
|
Similar to "Number Cruncher" but only
generates multiplication and addition functions to avoid outputting any
negative numbers. |
|
|
Students learn about the vertical line test for
functions by trying to connect points in the plane to build a function. |
|
|
Drills students on whether a curve satisfies the
properties of functions. |
|
|
Students enter two complex numbers (z and c) as
ordered pairs of real numbers, then click a button to iterate step by
step. The iterates are graphed in the x-y plane and printed out in table
form. This is an introduction to the idea of prisoners/escapees in
iterated functions and the calculation of fractal Julia sets. |
