Buffon's Needle (Activity)
Experiment with a simulation to get an approximation of Pi by dropping a needle on a lined sheet of paper.
Simple Plot (Activity)
Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
Skew Distribution (Activity)
Change the median and standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a skewed distribution, allowing you to observe properties like what it means for the mean, median, and mode to be different. Parameters: median, standard deviation, number of trials, class intervals.
Slope Slider (Activity)
Similar to other "flyers", Slope Slider uses slider bars to explore the effect of the multiplier and constant on a linear function of the form f(x)=mx+b. Explore the relationship between slope and intercept in the Cartesian coordinate system.
Spinner (Activity)
Create a game spinner with one to twelve sectors in order to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Number of sectors, number of trials.
This worksheet is for use with the Floor Tiles activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/FloorTiles/).
Plop It! (Activity)
PlopIt allows users to build dot plots of data using the mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
This worksheet is for use with the Fraction Finder activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/FractionFinder/).
This worksheet is for use with the Fraction Four activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/FractionFour/).
This worksheet is for use with the Fraction Pointer activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/FractionPointer/).
