An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of a concave polygon - one where at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degrees. The applet shows an irregular polygon initially with one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. The user can drag any vertex and change the number of sides in the range 3..99. When the polygon is concave, the angles that make it so are drawn in red. The goal is to show through experimentation what the concept of concavity really means. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Today we’re going to talk about confidence intervals. Confidence intervals allow us to quantify our uncertainty, by allowing us to define a range of values for our predictions and assigning a likelihood that something falls within that range. And confidence intervals come up a lot like when you get delivery windows for packages, during elections when pollsters cite margin of errors, and we use them instinctively in everyday decisions. But confidence intervals also demonstrate the tradeoff of accuracy for precision - the greater our confidence, usually the less useful our range.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of congruent angles. Three angles are shown which always remain congruent as you drag any defining point on any angle. They all change together. This is designed to demonstrate that the angles are considered congruent even if they are in different orientations and the line segments making them up are different lengths.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate congruent line segments (segments that are the same length). The applet shows three line segments that are the same length. They all have draggable endpoints. As you drag any endpoint the other lines change to remain congruent with the one you are changing. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the congruence of polygons. The applet presents nine polygons that are in fact congruent, but don't look it because they are reflected and rotated in various ways. If you click on one, it rotates and flips as needed, then slides over the top of another to show it is congruent. The web page describes how to determine if two polygons are congruent. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of congruent triangles. Applets show that triangles a re congruent if the are the same, rotated, or reflected. In each case the user can drag one triangle and see how another triangle changes to remain congruent to it. The web page describes all this and has links to other related pages. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
