This worksheet is for use with the Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers lesson plan (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/MultiplyingFractions/).
Learn about estimation through modeling of a forest fire. This activity allows the user to burn a virtual forest, then estimate the number, the percent, or the fraction of trees burned. Fire Assessment is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
This worksheet is for use with the Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers lesson plan (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/MultiplyingFractions/).
Learn about fractions between 0 and 1 by repeatedly deleting portions of a line segment, and also learn about properties of fractal objects. Parameter: fraction of the segment to be deleted each time.
This worksheet is for use with the Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers lesson plan (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/MultiplyingFractions/).
Simulation of a coin toss allowing the user to input the number of flips. Toss results can be viewed as a list of individual outcomes, ratios, or table.
Create a pie chart, adjusting the size of the divisions using your mouse or by entering values.
Parameters: Number of sections, size of sections, whether to use percents or fractions.
Students play a generalized version of connect four, gaining the chance to place a piece on the board by answering arithmetic questions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Parameters: time, difficulty level, types of questions. Arithmetic Four is one of the Interactivate assessment games.
Test your algebra skills by answering questions. This quiz asks you to solve algebraic linear and quadratic equations of one variable. Choose difficulty level, question types, and time limit. Algebra Quiz is one of the Interactivate assessment quizzes.
Step through the tortoise and hare race, based on Zeno's paradox, to learn about the multiplication of fractions and about convergence of an infinite sequence of numbers.
Students work step-by-step through the generation of a different Hilbert-like Curve (a fractal made from deforming a line by bending it), allowing them to explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Carpet -- a fractal made from subdividing a square into nine smaller squares and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
This worksheet is for use with the Coloring Remainders in Pascal's Triangle activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ColoringRemainder/).
Experiment with the outcome distribution for a roll of two dice by simulating a dice throwing game. Parameters: Which player wins with which total rolled.
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.
This activity helps you understand how to balance an equation. You input the term and the operation. The activity uses that term and operates on both sides of the equation. It then displays the resulting equation. Equation Solver is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Students practice arithmetic skills. Can be tailored for practice of all types of single operation arithmetic ranging from simple addition to operations with integers and decimals.
Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Triangle -- a fractal made from subdividing a triangle into four smaller triangles and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
