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, learners 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...

Analyze Math: Reflection Across a Line
Reflect any point, line segment, triangle, or any other figure over one or two lines using this dynamic applet. Points and lines are entered by point-and-click rather than by typing equations or ordered pairs. A very neat exercise to...
