Demonstration projects.

Algebra and trigonometry

• Simple division
• Rectangle - showing that when sides of a rectangle vary, the area varies.
• Adding fractions - makes and problem and guides student through it.
• Linear function explorer
• Quadratic function explorer
• Quadratic function solver
• Logistic curve explorer
• Gompertz curve explorer
• The Drake Equation - a multivariate algebraic extravaganza
• The GPS simulator - angles and all that
  • Teacher version
  • Student version
• Polygon tool - make polygons and then move the vertices; paste the data into Excel
• Triangle tool - the predecessor of the Polygon tool
• Line of sight - application of Pythagorean theorem
• Compound Interest - graphical display of interest bearing acoounts accumulating value
• Areas of shapes - compute the area but figure out how.

Data examples

• Histogram generator - data can be input or autogenerated.
• Histogram generator - same as above but different style

Flash examples

• Flash vs Maple - what can be done with both Maple and Flash working together
• Planet earth- more Flash animations
• Linear splines - an animation created by Maple and "dressed up" with Flash
• Target practice - study in Flash of using random numbers and sound
• Burst - sun burst
