Math Applets


Mathlets: JavaTM Applets for Math Explorations by Tom Leathrum
A collection of applets for Precalculus and Calculus subjects.

Manipula Math with JAVA
279 applets from Middle School Math, Trigonometry, Calculus, Vector Math, Complex Numbers, Conics, and miscellaneous (with things like Pascal's triangle, absolute value, fractals, and a slide rule)

Java Demos for Probability and Statistics
Applets for use in teaching material from Probability or Statistics. The applets include some explanations, but a student would need supplemental instruction from the teacher to understand the math.

Cut The Knot Interactive Mathematics Activities
My favorite collection of applets so far, this site has around 1400 applets. There are applets for all math subjects. Included are explanations of the math demonstrated in the applets, historical information, and related material.

Java Applets on Mathematics by Walter Fendt
Some basic applets demonstrating mathematics from Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry, and some higher math. I would use these more as visuals during a lecture rather than for students to use for discovery.

Larry Green's Applet Page
A fair-sized collection of applets grouped by topic. Subjects include Basic Math, Algebra, Statistics, and Calculus.

Euclid's Elements by D.E. Joyce
This website goes through the text of the 13 books of Euclid's Elements, illustrating many parts with interactive applets.

Dot Product Applet by Paul Falstad
An applet that shows the dot product of two vectors.

Basic Spinner
A spinner that can be used to investigate probability.

Sample JCM Applet: SliderGraph
This applet plots a function with 3 constants, and allows the user to explore how the graph of the function changes when the constants are manipulated.

Solving Equations game
A game that gives students practice with solving equations.

Model Algebraic Equations with a Balance Scale from mathplayground.com
This applet first walks students through the process of solving an equation using a balance scale as a model, then allows students to practice and check their answer.
