Title | Description |
Rossman/Chance Applet Collection | This collection of applets includes real and theoretical data that are relevant to statistics. These topics include probability, scatterplots, sampling distributions, and statistical inference. |
APPLETmaths | A small collection of geometry applets. These help discover relationships of angles within a circle and the relationship of a graph and the nature of roots of a parabolic function. |
PhET Interactive Simulations | A large collection of interactive graphic applets. The topics available vary greatly, including area, probability, vector addition, and fractions. |
Interactive Math Applications | This collection has a variety of diffferent topics ranging from different calculators to trigonometry and calculus. There are even some applets about how math connects to different aspects of life such as music and physical beauty. |
Primary School Mathematics Collection - GeoGebra | This is a GeoGebra collection that has geometry applets. Some are targeted for learning geometry, and others are geared more toward a visualization of mathematics that generally are taught more numerically. Many of these topics are part of the elementary school curriculum, but some extend to middle school math. |
Title | Description |
Gaussian Elimination Applet | This applet provides a system of three linear equations to solve using Gaussian elimination. You decide the steps to solve it, but the applet performs the simple arithmetic. |
Matrix Inverse Applet | This applet is similar to the one to solve the linear equations. You are given a three-by-three matrix to find the inverse. Again, you decide the steps to find it, but the applet performs the arithmetic. |
Add, Subtract and Multiply matrices interactive | This applet gives practice problems for adding and multiplying matrices where the answer is not shown at first, but then it shows the answer and then walks you through the steps. |
Linear Transformations and Eigenvectors | This applet calculates the determinant for a two-by-two matrix and shows the eigenvectors on a cartesian plane. |
Matrix Transformations | This applet shows how shapes can be transformed by multiplying them by matrices. |

Matrices and Linear Transformations | Website with Interactive Applet | This somewhat interactive website describes the transformations on geometric objects done by transformation matrices. |
Algebra - Augmented Matrices | Website with Interactive Applet | This website walks students through the steps of using a matrix to solve a system of linear equations with an opportunity to practice at the end. |
Introduction to Matrices | Powerpoint | This slide show gives an overview of what a matrix is along with how to use them to represent points on a Cartesian plane. |
Finding the Determinant of a 3 x 3 Matrix | Video | This video describes how to find the determinant of a three-by-three matrix (along with a two-by-two matrix if the viewer doesn't already know that). |
What is a Determinant? | Video | This short video gives a brief overview of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. It's important for students to already know how to calculate a determinant before watching this video. |
