An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the definition of a line segment. The applet presents two points and a line that links them. As the points are dragged the line moves accordingly. See also the entries for line and ray. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition of a line segment in coordinate geometry. The applet has two points that the user can drag. The two points define a line segment, one for each endpoint. The grid, axis pointers and coordinates can be turned on and off. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full definition of a line segment when the coordinates of the points defining it are known, and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a linear pair of angles. A pair of angles are shown and the user can drag the common side. It demonstrates that they a supplementary (add to 180 degrees) and have a common side. The angle measures can be turned off for class discussion. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet that allows the user to graphically explore the properties of a linear functions. Specifically, it is designed to foster an intuitive understanding of the effects of changing the two coefficients in the function y=ax+b. The applet shows a large graph of a quadratic (ax + b) and has two slider controls, one each for the coefficients a and b. As the sliders are moved, the graph is redrawn in real time illustrating the effects of these variations. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a bisector of a line segment. The applet shows a fixed line segment and another line that bisects it. The second line's endpoints can be dragged, but the line adjusts itself so that it always bisects the fixed line. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition of a line in coordinate geometry. The applet has two points that the user can drag. The two points define a line, and the user can see how the line changes when the points are moved. The grid, axis pointers and coordinates can be turned on and off. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full definition of a line when the coordinates of the points defining it are known, and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

This is an instructional task that gives students a chance to reason about lines of symmetry and discover that a circle has an an infinite number of lines of symmetry. Even though the concept of an infinite number of lines is fairly abstract, fourth graders can understand infinity in an informal way.

This task provides students a chance to experiment with reflections of the plane and their impact on specific types of quadrilaterals. It is both interesting and important that these types of quadrilaterals can be distinguished by their lines of symmetry.

This task is intended for instruction, providing the students with a chance to experiment with physical models of triangles, gaining spatial intuition by executing reflections.

This task can be implemented in a variety of ways. For a class with previous exposure to the incenter or angle bisectors, part (a) could be a quick exercise in geometric constructions,. Alternatively, this could be part of a full introduction to angle bisectors, culminating in a full proof that the three angle bisectors are concurrent, an essentially complete proof of which is found in the solution below.

A web page and interactive applet that illustrate the concept of locus. The applet shows a model of the plane populated with a large number of points on a grid. Those points equidistant form a point are highlighted, forming a circle in this case. The user can drag the point and drag the distance, showing the circle moving and changing size. The text page has a description of the locus concept and links to other loci - a straight line and an ellipse. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

This is a booklet containing 37 space science mathematical problems, several of which use authentic science data. The problems involve math skills such as unit conversions, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, graph analysis, vectors, scientific notation, and many others. Learners will use mathematics to explore science topics related to Earth's magnetic field, space weather, the Sun, and other related concepts. This booklet can be found on the Space Math@NASA website.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the major and minor axes of an ellipse. The applet has an ellipse whose major and minor axis endpoints can be dragged. As they are dragged the major and minor axes change length and may swap places. The applet also shows the location of the foci, which are always on the major axis, and shows how they move with variation of the axis lengths. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

This instructional task gives students a hands-on experience with composing and decomposing geometric figures.

Math Antics has amazing videos to explain concepts for Math. The videos are very clear and explicit and students love them. All of the video lessons are FREE.

There are also follow up exercises, videos and worksheets that students can use to solidify learning - but you will be required to pay $20 a year to access these. hat being said, it's super useful even without a paid account!

The videos are organized by strand, and all are free.

They cover numeracy, arithmetic, algorithms, fractions, mixed numbers, percentages, ratios, geometry, statistics, measurement, exponents, integers & algebra, algebra 1-3
