Math 149. Capstone Mathematics for Teachers. Spring 2009.
Homework 12
Choose one of the following:
- Find a few Java Applets that you find interesting and useful for a high school math class (e.g. enter "Math Java Applet" in Google search). Record at least 2 or 3
that you like the most. (Give the URL, the title of the applet if it has any, and briefly explain what the applet is doing. You may include a picture of the applet if
you'd like.)
- Use Geometer's Sketchpad (or a similar program, e.g. GeoGebra) to create an illustration of some concept or theorem taught in a high school math class. Submit both
your file (via email), and a short description of your illustration (on paper or via email).
