GeoGebra Calculus Applets Project

"
This is a collection of applets created by Marc Renault of Shippensburg University. Marc's "goal is to make a complete library of applets for Calculus I that are suitable for in-class demonstrations and/or student exploration."

Introduction to Area Under a Curve

In this applet from the GeoGebra Calculus Applets Project, you enter a function and position endpoints to see what the value of the integral is.

The Area Function

This applet from the GeoGebra Calculus Applets Project provides a way to explore the area function. The default integrand can be changed by right-clicking on the curve.

Solving triangles

Practice solving 30-60-90 triangles or right triangles, or a mix of both at thatquiz.org, a site which allows you to customize practice on basic elementary, middle, and secondary school math topics. Random numbers are automatically generated for a series of problems based on the difficulty level and problem type(s) you choose.
