Science Buddies: Tangent Circles and Triangles
Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The two circles are tangent to one another at point A. Their diameters are parallel. Prove that points A, D and F are co-linear. You'll also learn how to create an...

Serc: Simulating the Effect of Sample Size on Sampling Distribution of the Mean
Using a Java simulation tool, students investigate how sample size is related to the amount of variability one sees in the sampling distribution of the mean. Increasing the sample size decreases the variability. Students are assigned...
