Applet Collections

5 Applet Collections

Title Description
1. Math, Physics, and Engineering Applets An applet collection that helps visualize different concepts in math, physics, and engineering. Some notable mathematical topics in this collection include oscillations, dot product, and vector fields.
2. Algebra Applets This applet collection has a variety of interactive algebra applets. These applets are searchable by subject and audience. Topics include probability, graphical summaries, normal distribution, and linear regression. There are also many other activities for other subjects as well, such as statistics, calculus, discrete math, fractions, geometry, graphs, trignonometry, and modeling.
3. CPM Statistics Applets This eTool collection has different simulators that can help students understand binomial, normal, t, and chi-squared distributions. There are also simulations for inference and creating confidence intervals.
4. Trigonometry Applets This applet collection authored by Mr. Dubois on GeoGebra has applets that help students transform sine, cosine, and tangent functions. This collection also includes special right triangle cases.
5. Math Applets This collection of applets covers basic math topics, such as circles, triangles, and linear equations. Just make sure to scroll down after clicking on the applet.

5 Specific Applets: Congruency & Similarity

Title Description
1. Congruence Theorems Applet In this applet, students can manipulate the sides and angles of a triangle. They can attempt to prove all the congruence theorems.
2. AA Similarity Theorem Applet This GeoGebra applet allows students to see AA similarity in action by moving vertices of similar trianges using a slider.
3. HL Congruency Applet An applet that allows for students to explore the hypotenus-leg congruency condition of right triangles.
4. CPM Similarity Toolkit This toolkit allows students to adjust the sides and angles of two triangles. A side bar menu displays ratios of the side lengths.
5. SSA is Invalid An applet that allows studnets to see triangles with 2 congruent sides, but with a congruent angle not in between them.



GeoGebra Applets

Conic Sections Applets

See how many different conics you can create.
A conic is shape created by a plane intersecting between two equal cones whose tips touch.
This applet allows for basic exploration using the 3D graphics of GeoGebra.

Normal Approximation to the Binomial Applet

This applet allows you to adjust the number of trials and the probability of success to approximate the binomial distribution from the normal approximation.
Feel free to move the point, A, along the x-axis to see how much of the curve is shaded up to that point for the binomial and normal distributions.

Something New Applet: Cramer's Rule

I learned how to use the matrix and determinant features of GeoGebra in this step-by-step guide through Cramer's Rule.

Upper and Lower Sums Applet

This applet allows you to input any function into the input bar in terms of x.
You can adjust the number of rectangles the Riemann sum has in calculating the area underneat the curve.
Feel free to adjust endpoints A and B along the x-axis as well. back to list


Volumes Applet


This applet allows for exploration between the formulas of a cone, cylinder, and cone.
Use the adjustable sliders for the radius and height of the 3D solid. The check boxes allow you to see the true formula.

Original GeoGebra Applet

In this origninal GeoGebra applet, you'll be able to see how Side Splitter Theorem works. This is a neat theorem that results from triangle similarity.

Students are able to move points A, B, and C to shape whatever size triangle they would like.
They can also move point D to create whatever ratio they'd like between AD and DB.
