Here is where you'll find the course content for Spring, 2009. Assignments are here. Syllabus is here. GEOGEBRA: Throughout the notes, you will find many GeoGebra applets.  These are interactive Java applets.  To activate them, just click on them, and wait for the applet to load.  If you're using Internet Explorer, you may have to click on the "Allow ActiveX control" warning bar at the top of your browser, for the applet to load.  I encourage you to download GeoGebra yourself, or use the "Web Start" option, over at http://www.geogebra.org .  It's very easy to use, and a lot of fun!

Many useful applets. (Click on Applets on the left)

Math applets from Edinformatics. 

"Math Applets for Calculus at SLU" Great set of apps from Mike May. He does a nice job of supporting teachers who might be interested in using these in their classes with students.

Great set of resources from David Little at Penn State. Easy to use java applets with explanation of usage ideas.

Nice set of applets that let students explore fraction understanding from multiple perspectives and models. I love that they use a variety of models for fractional development, including bars (multiple versions), sets, and linear. From the site:  "Why Fractions? Fractions are one of the earliest stumbling blocks for students in math. Our goal is building conceptual understanding in fractions as a basis for comprehension in all later topics."

Also from SLU, simple interface, easy to change function, upper/lower/middle, number of intervals, and graphing window.

A great site for maths teachers. Lots of interactive applets and resources for teachers.

Some great applets for use with math classes. From basic arithmetic modeling to modeling of integrals. From the University of Virginia these flash based apps will work on almost any platform except the iPod system (currently).

Factorizing applet

Great set of lessons for modeling, recursive functions, real-life application from NCTM Illuminations. The lessons include not only context, but applets that help students visualize the situation and  mathematical model. 

Nice set of instructional activities/lessons that have dynamic or interactive aspects to them. Would take some study to be able to use effectively, but a good resource.

Nice list of resources from around the world, some of the sites are not in English, but most are. Worth looking at as there are a lot of connections to other topics.

Interactive java applets that demonstrate concepts from calculus

Java applets some of which the website claims may be used for assessment. E.g. Venn, Fractions, Geometry Lots for Grades 3-8

GeoGebra: Do the Math is a series of screencast tutorials for teachers and/or students. The tutorials were initiated as a project to support Maine math teachers in the integration of technology in the classroom. What is GeoGebra provides an overview of the program and its capabilities. Several tutorials present the program's menu options and tools in step-by-step format. Another group of tutorials provides examples of GeoGebra learning activities in major math content areas. These tutorials are intended as a visual supplement to printed guides and documentation. GeoGebra users can find a wealth of guidance and examples at www.geogebra.org. A web search such as "GeoGebra Pythagorean Theorem" will yield hundreds of additional articles, examples, and applets.

In the portal you'll find a dynamic textbook, lesson plans, widgets, interactive Demonstrations, and more built by Wolfram education experts. Absolutely a great resource. Builds in representations, applets, explanations of variable use etc. Great tool.  Since it is in Beta, I am wondering how long it will be free and what their plans are for the future.
