Applet Collections
Title Description
Saltire Software A collection of applets that show geometric shapes and their relationships to drawing curves.
Quadrivium A collection of applets for more elementary geometric exercises. Many are focused on scaling or the definition of polygons, but algebraic topics are explored as well.
Rossman/Chance A collection of applets dedicated to statistical analysis, primarily in the creation of sampling distributions.
Larry Green's Applets A collection of applets focused on secondary math up to early college algebra
Stapplets More stats related applets, but this time with examples taken from real life.



Applets
Title Description
A Triangle Spline An applet that shows the relationship between sides of a triangle and the internal curve it draws when you move them
Dilating a Triangle This applet shows a triangle being scaled in a 3D setting and includes a table for editing
One Proportion Inference An applet that aids in hypothesis tests involving categorical data with one proportion.
Newton's Method A nice applet to streamline your guesses while using Newton's method to guess solutions to equations.
Can You Smell Parkinson's Allows you to participate in a statistical investigation by reading a problem situation and making your own guesses.



Resources
Title Type Description
Why Are Manhole Covers Round? Video Amazing animated video that explains curves of constant width and some places you might see them.
Who Said Wheels Have to Be Round? Video This guy shows how he made bike tires from scratch that use Reuleaux's Triangles instead of circles for wheels.
Curves of Constant Width Website A short Wikipedia article describing the history of these shapes and some other interesting properties of them.
Explaining Shapes of Constant Width Video Another video, but instead of an animation or wheels, this one shows rollers, which helps show a surface on top of the c.o.c.w.
Ultimate Solids of Constant Width Video Yet another video, but the author displays coins and architecture, along with 3D prints of different shaped marbles or ball bearings.
