Tooth Pick Puzzle

Examine geometry first hand by using this activity to solve the problem of creating five squares by arranging twelve toothpicks.

Tooth Pick Grid

Examine geometry first-hand through this web activity by creating geometric shapes with toothpicks. A grid and an unlimited number of toothpicks.  Great for all sorts of applications from geometry to area and perimeter.

Web Dice

Throw these virtual dice with 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, or 20 sides and select how many you would like to "throw."

Monty's Three Door Dilemma

The Three door problem is based on Let's make A Deal and is a great higher order probability activity

 Cubic Volume

Fill a Rectangular Prism with cubes to determine volume.

Pattern Generator 

Determine the pattern and then drag pieces to continue.  Includes the What?  How?  and Why? and additional resources to support this area of study.

Create a Pattern 

Arrange colors to complete the pattern

 Sequencer 

This activity allows the user to create multiple sequences by varying the following values: Starting Number: The first number in the sequence. Multiplier: The number by which the preceding element of the sequence will be multiplied. Add-on: The number that is added to the preceding number (after it has been multiplied by the multiplier) to obtain the next number in the sequence. A given element of the sequence is obtained by multiplying the preceding number by the multiplier, and then adding the add-on. A graph of the resulting sequence and a list of the elements of the sequence are displayed in the applet. 

 Area Explorer

Explore the area of irregular polygons and test your knowledge.

Perimeter Explorer

Explore the perimeter of irregular polygons and test your knowledge.

Shape Explorer

Explore the area and perimeter of irregular polygons and test your knowledge.

Probability

This activity allows the user to experiment with probability by spinning a spinner or rolling dice. 

Spinners 

Select options from two to ten items and or colors to create a variety of spinners.

Exploring Properties of Rectangles and Parallelograms

Manipulate the dynamic rectangle and parallelogram below by dragging the corners (vertices) and sides (edges). You can rotate or stretch the shapes, but they will retain particular features. What is alike about all the figures produced by the dynamic rectangle? What is alike about all the figures produced by the dynamic parallelogram? What common characteristics do parallelograms and rectangles share? How do rectangles differ from other parallelograms?
