| Pythagorean Relationships | The purpose of this applet is to allow students to be able to visually understand the relationship of the pythagorean theorem. |
| Algebra Tiles | This applet is a way for our students to be able to visualize how we can solve various equations. It allows students to be able to solve for x, expand, and factor equations as well. |
| Function Matching | This allows for a student to quiz themselves on what various types of functions they would be encountering in their studies. It allows for them to test themselves on how well they know visually what various functions look like and if they can create the correct equation for the function. |
| Vectors | This is a game that I found that allows students to play with vectors. It has a boat that you are trying to get to an island using vectors with both the water and boat velocity. |
| Equations of Shapes | This is a desmos app that allows students to look at previously set equations and be able to compare how those shapes are created. |

| Create Your Own Tesselation | This is an interactive applet where students can go and create their own tesselation. It allows them to visually look at a tesselation and see the pattern. |
| Tesselation Artist | This applet will allow students to see, specifically with regular polygons, how to create tesselations with them. |
| Tessellations with Hexagonal Gap | This is another applet that allows students to visually see how tessellations are created. This allows for people to explore yet another option in how to create different tessellations. |
| Tessellation Creation Program | This not only gives a step by step process of how to create a tessellation. It also provides software that you can download to create your own tessellations. |
| Tessellation Lesson | Through this website, it actually has a full lesson plan for teaching tessellations. It has an interactive applet for creating your own tessellation along with the lesson plan. |

| Tutorial Video | This video is a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a simple tesselation |
| Animal Tessellations | This allows for a student to go in and look at different examples of tessellations that other people have done regarding animals. |
| How-To Guide | This is a much simpler how to guide in creating your own tessellations. It walks people through step by step with visual diagrams of creating a tessellation. |
| Rotating Translation | There is both translational and rotational tessellations. This is a tutorial video for creating a rotational translation. |
| Tessellations Podcast | This is a podcast station devoted to tesesllations and various other mathematical concepts. |
The history behind this original applet came from the STAT 1045 class I'm a recitation leader for. The box model is something that they use frequently to help determine probability of various outcomes. This model helps them understand what their model should look like and they can double check their average, standard deviation, expected value, and standard error to see if they did them correctly.
This is an addition to the applet for STAT 1045 I made for the last homework assignment. I wanted students to be able to have a method for double checking themselves with the bounds and area for their standard normal curves that they would be required to find. They input what their observation value, mean, and standard deviation are. Then they select whether they want it within the limits, above, or below, and then the applet will spit out the curve, the shaded area, and the limits. It makes for an easy method for students to check whether or not they were correct in their calculations.
The applet which you will see if you click here is related to my final project. I am doing the project on tessellation. In this applet a student will be able to think about the concept of tessellations and talk about the relationship between the original image and subsequent images that come from the tessellations. When creating this applet I had to use the vector function in order to create the necessary vectors so that the translations would work. That was a fun feature to learn about.
