Math Tools
Provides interactive tools for algebra and geometry
exploration. The Algebra Tiles Explorer allows students to
use positive and negative tiles to represent and solve
algebraic equations. Students can manipulate and view 3D
figures from several perspectives with the Volume and
Surface Area Explorer. The Transformation Explorer allows
the investigation of one or more transformations
(translations, rotations, reflections, and dilatations) of
a geometric figure positioned on a coordinate grid. These
tools require a download but then can be run without an
Internet connection. (
