Applets

TitleDescription
Mathematics of Dobble This website contains an applet where you make your own spot it cards (with only three images) using finite projective planes.
Geogebra Projective Planes This applet explores low leve projective planes. It would not be my favorite to include in my project but it would work.
Make your own Spot It!This applets allows you to create your own spot it cards. This would be fun to use with students so they can see how the cards only have one match.
Solve finite projective planes This applet is used to solve finite projective planes. It is super fun and could easily be done by high school students.
Anatomy of projective planes This applet interactively walks the user through a projective planes and shows the realtionships within it.

Applet Collections

TitleDescription
Stapplets This is a collection of approximatly 23 different applets. They fall under the catagorys of Data Analysis, Probability, Concepts, and Activities. All of the links I checked worked!
GeoAstro Applet CollectionThis contains many applets all realted to GeoAstro. They fall under the catagories Sun, Moon, Autoclocks, Sundials, and general astronomy.
Falstad Applets This is a collection of applets that mainly focuses on math and physics. Topics include: Oscillations and waves, Acoustics, Linear Algebra, and Vector Calculus.
Math Education Applets These applets were created by Henri Piciotto for the purpose of helpig students learn specific math skills. These applets fall into the catagories: Algebra, Arithmatic, Functions, Geometry, Visual Manipulatives, and Other. Most of these were created using Geogebra not Javascript.
Rossman/Chance Collection This collection focuses on statistical topics including sampling distributions, and probability. There are 52 different applets, all the ones I tried worked.

Resources

TitleTypeDescription
Math Mom Video This video explains the math behind spot it! It is intended for audiences who are not as familiar with math. This would be a good resource to show to younger students to show how spot it! works.
How does Dobble work? Vidoe This is a video about how spot it works. (Dobble is the british version) a This video is much longer and more in depth about how the game works. This will be an excellent resource for me to understand my topic deeper.
Math Behind Spot It! Article This article is by Olivia Chen and Natalie Han. It dives into the math behind spot it. It includes easy to follow visuals and explanations.
Puzzlewocky Website This website has a page dedicated to finite pojective planes and the math behind spot it! One of the main strengths of this website is its visuals.
Generalising Spot It! Website This is a very math-heavy explantion of the game. Some of it went over my head but I think its a great resource to refer to.







Guiding Questions: Move point A around. What do you notice/what did you discover?
What elements make up the rectangular coordinates?
What elements make up the polar coordinates?
Can you make an equation for x and y made by r and theata?
Can you make an equation for r and theata using x and y?



Guiding Questions:
1. Explore the applet by moving the radius slider and looking at the 3D shapes. What do you notice or wonder?
2. Consider the volumes of the shapes as you change the radius. Is there a consistent realtionship between the cylinder and cone volume? What about the cylinder and sphere volume? Cone and sphere?
3. The equation for volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h. Knowing this, can you write an equation for volume of a cone and volume of a sphere?





Guiding Questions:
Move the colorful circles onto the Fano Plane so that all of the same letters are on one line.
What do you notice about about the relationship between different colorful circles(in terms of their letters)?
Do any two of the colorful circles have two letters that are the same on both of them?
If there were more lines and circles in this projective plane, could we create circles where there are only one matching letter between two circles?
