GeoGebra Applet | Description of Resource | Why it is Interesting |
Transformation of a Polynomial Function | As the name suggest, this applet lets the user apply a variety of transformations to any polynomial function and see how the transformation changes the function. | This was one of the concepts I struggled with when I learned it in high school. I think it is is just a simple way to explore different transformation how the function changes when a transformation is applied to the function. |
Unit Circle for Sine and Cosine | This applet tries to show the relationship between the measurements of a point on the unit circle and the definition of the sine and cosine functions. | Like the above applet, I like this one for similar reasons. When I learned the unit circle I didn't associate it the sine and cosine graphs. This applet shows how they relate and why the unit circle is the way it is. |
Fraction Division | The applet lets the user visually see how to divide a number by a fraction. | This is an interesting applet since it helps the user to understand how a number is divided by a fraction. |
Triangle Vocabulary | This applet provides a visual representation of a variety of triangle vocabulary terms. | This is a simple applet but it has a lot to offer. Not only can the user see and compare different vocabulary terms but can more importantly see how each term changes as the triangle changes. |
Lights Out Game | 'Lights Out' is a classic game of logic. The user starts with a five-by-five grid of cells and clicks a cell to changes its state, along with its four neighbours. | This is a fun applet that makes the user use logic to solve a variety of puzzles. I like it because it feels like the user is playing a game but is practicing logic skills. |
