| Activity Name | Activity Description |
|---|---|
| Pythagorean Explorer | The applet provides a picture of a right triangle and provides the lengths of two sides. Students determine the length of the third side using the Pythagorean Theorem and input their answers to be confirmed by the applet. |
| Squaring the Triangle | The applet provides a visual demonstration of the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of square areas. Students can adjust the lengths of the bases of a right triangle and the applet calculates hypotenuse length as well as squared areas for each side of the triangle. |
| Triangle Explorer | The applet creates a right triangle on a grid. Students determine area of the triangle and check their answers with input to the applet. The applet also supplies a 'hint' function that outlines a rectangle containing the original triangle. |
