Applet Collections:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Math Is Fun | A collection of games, activities, and worksheets designed to engage one in mathematical concepts and their application in the real world. This collection also teaches mathematical concepts by including descriptions and examples. |
| Nrich Math | A collection of interactive games and activities designed by Cambridge University to engage students ages 7 to 18. This collection provides students with the opportunity to use their problem-solving skills. This allows individuals to use their mathmatical knowledge in areas other than algebraic skill. |
| Math Learning Center | This site is a collection of applets that can be used by students as a digital workspace. Here, students can explore things like geometry, ratios and fractions, and counting. |
| Youcubed | This site, while being a good resource for students and teachers, includes a page of tasks that students can engage in. Like Nrich, these tasks are meant to be thinking and problem-solving tasks. The include expounding upon mathematical concepts and real-world applications of mathematics. |
| Rossman/Chance Applet Collection | A collection of a variety of statistical applets. These applets are designed to help users become familiar with statistical concepts, such as the Monty Hall problem. Some applets model statistical inference and regression. |
Specific Applets:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Monty Hall | This is one of many examples of a Monty Hall Applet. It allows students to go through the Monty Hall Problem/Game Show and teaches students the statistics behind it. |
| Celtic Knot Generator | The creation of celtic knots has some mathematics behind it. This applet allows students to play with different sizes and shapes of celtic knots. |
| Geoboard | This applet is a interactive grid. Students can play with shapes and areas. This is also a digital platform in which students can create celtic knots. |
| Celtic Knot Creator | This is another applet that allows users to creat and experiment with celtic knots. This one is different from the previous generator because it creates random patterns. |
| Reeses Pieces | This is a simple applet that models basic probability. For example, given a jar of Reeses Pieces, what is the probability of drawing an orange piece? |
Project Resources:
| Title | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Celtic Knot Algorithm | Website | This website explains the algorithm behind celtic knots. It includes an applet in which users can create celtic knots and explains how celtic knots are created by using a grid. |
| Drawing Celtic Knots | Website | This website demonstrates how to hand-draw celtic knots using a grid. It includes youtube videos that also explain the process. This resource has color-coordinated steps which provides for easy instruction following. |
| Celtic Knot PDF | Worksheet | This is a link to a PDF worksheet. One can print it out and follow the steps to hand-draw a celtic knot. This worksheet explains how to draw different patterns and styles of celtic knots and provides a grid to draw on. |
| Playing With Knots | Online Task | This resource is a task taken from Youcubed. This is a task in which one can play with creating knots and using mathematical problem-solving to do so. It allows students to practice abstract thinking. On this page, there is also a link to a podcast that explains knot theory. |
| Celtic Knot Font | Website | This website shows two different ways to draw different types of celtic knots. It shows the typical way that is demonstrated through some of the other resources shown above. It also shows how celtic knots can be created using a keyboard and typing. |
Misc. Created Applets:
| Applet 1: | Sine Function Transformation | Applet 2: | Polar and Rectangular Coordinates | Applet 3: | 3D Solids | Applet 4: | Regular Icosahedron | Applet 5: | Celtic Love Knot Geometric Construction |
