Blaise Mathlets Library
The Blaise Mathlest Library includes applets with dynamic parameters, general applets, "fun stuff" applets, and application applets. They were all created by Elisha Peterson using the open-source Blaise mathematics package. There are also links to other applet websites included on the page..
Visit the applets Library here.
Sample Applet:
Basic Plotter
This applet allows the see to change different parameters of a function and see how those changes affect the slope at different points.
Visit this applet here by clicking on the Basic Plotter link on the left.
Common Core Curriculum:
The above applet on Functions and plotting complies with the following sections of the Common Core Curriculum:
- CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.B.4: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
- CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.B.6: Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
