Golden Rectangle - A Virtual Manipulative
The Golden Rectangle is a plot created by starting with a rectangle, chopping off successive squares, and drawing quarter circles with a radius equal to the side of the square that was cut.
The center of the spiral is obtained by intersecting a diagonal of the largest rectangle with a diagonal of the second-largest rectangle.
Using this virtual manipulative you may:
-Start plotting
-Pause the plotter
-Clear the plot
-Turn the outer rectangle <

Great Circle – A Virtual Manipulative
Use a 3D globe to visualize and measure the shortest path between cities. This manipulative shows the great circle route and the great circle distance between a number of cities around the globe. Click and drag to rotate the globe.
To see the route and distance between any two cities on the map, simply click on the red dots representing the two cities. Two routes are shown. The green route is the smaller arc of the great circle containing your two cities. The approximate great circ
Peg Puzzle - A Virtual Manipulative
This virtual manipulative is the classic logic peg puzzle.
The goal of the puzzle is to switch the pegs on the left with the pegs on the right by moving one peg at a time.
Move pegs by clicking and dragging them to open slots. A peg may only be moved to an open slot directly in front of it or by jumping over a peg to an open slot on the other side of it. You may not move backwards. The game ends when you win or get stuck.
Play versions of this game with different number of pe
Conway's Game of Life - A Virtual Manipulative
Conway's Game of Life is played on a grid of cells with the topology used by the old "Asteroids" arcade game. Cells on the right edge are adjacent to cells on the left edge, and similarly for top and bottom. There are instructions to the right side of the Java applet.
