Function Flyer (Activity)
A more advanced version of Slope Slider, this activity allows the manipulation of the constants and coefficients in any function thereby encouraging the user to explore the effects on the graph of the function by changing those numbers.
Gives an introduction to the concept of a logarithms and shows how logs can be used to calculate fractal dimension.
This worksheet is for use with the Function Flyer activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/FunctionFlyer/).
Students compare multiple independent variables as predictors of one dependent variable. Students explore correlation and lines of best-fit.
Ordered Simple Plot (Activity)
Plot ordered pairs on the graph, and they will be connected in the order that they are input. This enables you to decide how the pairs should be connected, rather than having the computer connect them from left to right.
Introduces the basic ideas needed for understanding functions.
This worksheet is for use with the Slope Slider activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/SlopeSlider/).
This worksheet is for use with the lesson Algorithm Discovery with Venn Diagrams (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/AlgorithmDiscovery/).
Enter two complex numbers (z and c) as ordered pairs of real numbers, then click a button to iterate step by step. The iterates are graphed in the x-y plane and printed out in table form. This is an introduction to the idea of prisoners/escapees in iterated functions and the calculation of fractal Julia sets.
Introduces students to the vertical line test for graphs of functions.
