A great site - essentially an interactive textbook for Grade 9 Alberta curriculum. Lots of java applets presented within written passages set up to lead through a progression of knowledge/skills. Resources for a number of other courses if you hit the [Home] link at the top of the page, but I have not looked through other areas of the site.

GeoGebra java applets - calculus, geometry, transformations, trigonometry, linear and quadratic relations

This site expains the mathematics behind images, and occasonally supplements with applets, animations, or teaching materials. Still a little sparse, but what is there is well done.

A wide range of math tutorials, many illustrated with applets

Some good interactive graphical illustrations for calculus. I especially like Average and Instantaneous Rate of Change

This applet gives an interesting message - it teaches kids how little population growth is needed to decimate a fish population.

Project on blackboard. Trace/Connect max/min points with a smooth curve. Measure successive heights. Determine the rate of decay. Find the correct exponential decay function. Use graphing software to superimpose the function they find on top of the function draw on the board. Change parameters and repeat process. Could be worthwhile.

Good Fractions practice - quite basic to quite advanced with good visual aids.

Wolfram's new education site with online texts, lesson plans, demos

An incredible resource! 68 lessons from functions (a touch of grade 11 but mostly grade 12) to university calculus. Tons for MCV. Make sure to link to this from your moodle!
