Median of a triangle
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the medians of a triangle. The applet shows a triangle where the user can drag the vertices to reshape it. As the triangle is being reshaped, the user can see the three median lines tracking the changes, and observe that that all three always intersect at a point inside the triangle. The page text explains that this point of intersection is also the centroid of the triangle, and explains how to determine the location of the medians. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Midpoint Theorem (Coordinate Geometry)
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate how to find the midpoint of a line segment when the coordinates of the endpoints are given. The applet has two points on a Cartesian plane. As the user drags either point it continuously recalculates the midpoint of the line segment defined by them. The midpoint is shown both on the plane and as a continuously changing formula. The grid, axis pointers and coordinates can be turned on and off. The midpoint calculation can be turned off to permit class exercises and then turned back on the verify the answers. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full description of the method for finding the midpoint, a worked example and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Midpoints of the Sides of a Paralellogram
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a reasonably direct task aimed at having students use previously-derived results to learn new facts about parallelograms, as opposed to deriving them from first principles. The solution provided (among other possibilities) uses the SAS trial congruence theorem, and the fact that opposite sides of parallelograms are congruent.

In this lesson, students will learn that math is important in navigation and engineering. Ancient land and sea navigators started with the most basic of navigation equations (Speed x Time = Distance). Today, navigational satellites use equations that take into account the relative effects of space and time. However, even these high-tech wonders cannot be built without pure and simple math concepts basic geometry and trigonometry that have been used for thousands of years. In this lesson, these basic concepts are discussed and illustrated in the associated activities.

Neglecting the Curvature of the Earth
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This task applies geometric concepts, namely properties of tangents to circles and of right triangles, in a modeling situation. The key geometric point in this task is to recognize that the line of sight from the mountain top towards the horizon is tangent to the earth. We can then use a right triangle where one leg is tangent to a circle and the other leg is the radius of the circle to investigate this situation.

0.0 stars

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a nonagon (9 sided polygon). The applet shows a nonagon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular nonagon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the nonagon. The web page lists the properties of a nonagon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles. Links to pages with generalized properties of all polygons. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate obtuse angles (those between 90 and 180 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially obtuse) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the three types of triangle: acute, obtuse and right. The applet shows a triangle that is initially obtuse (one angle greater than 90 degrees) which the user can reshape by dragging any vertex. There is a message changes in real time while the triangle is being dragged that tells if the triangle is an acute, right or obtuse triangle and gives the reason why. By experimenting with the triangle student can develop an intuitive sense of the difference between these three classes of triangle.
