Questions for Discovery
1) What method of approximation seems to be the most accurate with the lowest z?
2) When using the 1/2 circle approximation, why is the area of the sum multiplied by 2?
3) Using the 1/4 circle approximation and the right Riemann Sum, what value of z gives you the correct first 3 digits of pi?
Questions for Discovery
1) What do you notice about the relationships between the formulas for each conic?
2) Set the radius of the cone equal to the height of the cone. Then,
set the radius of the sphere to the same number. What do you notice about the volumes?
3) Set the radius of the cone equal to the radius of the cylinder. Then, set both
the cone and the cylinder to the same height. What do you notice about the volume of each conic?

| Rossman/Chance Applet Collection |
This applet collection is a collection of applets that would be very helpful when
teaching any statistics topics. The applets are organized by topic (sampling,
probablility, statistical inference, etc). |
| Math Insight |
This applet collection is a bit harder to navigate because it just has pages
of applets, but it is really cool because it includes all sorts of applets for
all levels of math. It has everything from an applet that shows how to graph
cartesian points on a plane (something you would most likely use in elementary school)
to applets about Riemann sums (applets that you would use to teach a calculus class). |
| Applets Directory |
This applet directory contains applets that are mainly applicable to high school math
courses. This collection is super useful because the applets are categorized into
large topic categories such as algebra, fractions, functions, and more. Each
category contains smaller topics inside of it. You can click on the topic that you
would like to teach or learn more about and it takes you to a page with a possible lesson
plan along with multiple applets that you could use.

| Math Open Reference |
This collection of applets contains applets for K-12 math. This collection is extremely
well organized- it contains larger categories with multiple topics within each category.
For example, if we look at the Plane Geometry section, we can select the topic of triangles.
Then, for each topic, there are tons of applets that relate to that topic. In our example of
triangles, there are about 30 applets that do everything from discuss the types of triangles
to the Pythagorean Theorem.

| Antonija's Math Applets |
This collection is from a teacher who has published all of their applets that they have made
to teach with. The applets are organized by topic and although there aren't as many of them, I liked
these applets because they're all in Geogebra, are easy to use, and are highly interactive.
They also pertain to high school math topics.
