Cannibals and Misionaries

Help the missionaries and cannibals cross a river. The rowboat holds a maximum of two persons at a time. Beware: If the cannibals outnumber the missionaries on either bank, the missionaries will be eaten up.

Function Machines

Type in the Input. The Function Machine applies the function and produces the Output. If you choose [Random], you will have to use some brainpower to figure out the hidden function.

Linear Function Machine
With this function machine, you have to enter the correct linear function, using algebra.

Vertex Form of a Quadratic Function

A flipchart on the vertex form of a quadratic function and its graph.

Flower

You are given a circle of radius 1 unit and two circles of radius a and b which touch each other and also touch the unit circle. Prove that you can always draw a 'flower' with six petals with the unit circle in the middle, and six circles around it having radii
a, b, b/a, 1/a, 1/b and a/b
such that each outer circle touches the unit circle and the two circles on either side of it.

Take Your Dog for a Walk

This is a series of interactive pages on distance-time graphs. It is like having a motion sensor when you don't have a motion sensor.

Take Your Dog for a Walk
A clever interactive introduction to rate via distance-time graphs. The full-screen version would be useful if this is done as a whole class activity.

Motion Capture
Motion capture is a similar program but graphs displacement rather than distance, so it may be useful to introduce the concept of first and second derivatives.

Motion Sensor
Motion Sensor tests for understanding - can you describe how a graph was made?

Steady Free Fall
In this rich activity, you drop a ball onto a ramp of your own design and see the graph of vertical distance versus time. Some challenging questions are asked.
