Labyrinth Love 1
The Labyrinth Love it is a mathematical game of strategy, that is to say, that it demands capacity to be interrogated new situations, contrast of observations and conjectures, registration, revision more>>
Labyrinth Love 1 is a free game requiring the capacity to be interrogated new situations, contrast of observations and conjectures, registration, revision and reflection of the resolution process. It can stimulate the capacity of code of the process and modeling, for the resolution of problems. Said otherwise, it allows the graphic representation of the problem, to define the movement of the pieces. Their practice this graduate one for different levels of difficulty.
The Labyrinth Love is a game in real time based on old customs on the initiation of the youths in the loving conquest. Formerly separates to the children and the girls in the education and in the teaching on the secrets of the sex. Then, being already these young, it took them to the initiation labyrinth, a place formed skillfully by passages and crossroads, to confuse who goes into in him.
Graph2Go 0.7.2
Graph2Go brings you a powerful and free special-purpose graphing calculator which operates for given sets of function expressions. more>>
Graph2Go 0.7.2 brings you a powerful and free special-purpose graphing calculator which operates for given sets of function expressions. Graphing calculators are instrumental in teaching and learning mathematics. It is an environment that supports conceptual understanding of functions in general, and school algebra and real analysis in particular. Especially, it enhances connections between graphic and symbolic representations.
A major objective of algebra teaching is equipping learners with tools to mathematize their perceptions. A multi-representational approach has the potential to shift the focus of solving even traditional problems from assigning and solving for an unknown to analyzing the various processes and relations among those processes. The integration of multiple representations of function creates opportunities for developing a wider range of solution methods to traditional problems. Zooming in on the use of the graphing calculator, researchers point on four patterns and modes of use: computational tool, data analysis tool, visualizing tool, and checking tool.
Dynamic transformations are a unique facility of Graph2Go. Dynamic control involves the direct manipulation of an object or a representation of a mathematical object. As the driving input is the letter-symbolic one, the transformations are carried out on the numbers involved in the functions expression. Research suggests that the kinesthetic relation between the user and the object on the screen can have an important role in developing a deeper understanding of the mathematical concept.
Major Features:
- Graphs of single variable function expressions.
- Dynamic graphing of transformed expressions.
- Points of interest (maximum, minimum, inflection_ are marked and their numerical values are presented.
- Graph and expression of the derivative function.
- Graph, expression of the integral functions family.
- Area expressed by the integral of a given function.
- Zooming and rescaling options.
Requirements:
- Java Enabled (J2ME) Phone - Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
- Screen Resolution: 128 x 96 and above
Quad2Go 0.7.2
Quad2Go offers you a powerful and easy-to-use tool for learning about quadrilaterals by generating examples, observing, and experimenting with examples with a view toward forming generalized conjectures. more>>
Quad2Go 0.7.2 offers you a powerful and easy-to-use tool for learning about quadrilaterals by generating examples, observing, and experimenting with examples with a view toward forming generalized conjectures. Explorations with Quad2Go are especially appropriate for 11-12 year old students. Teaching geometry to students of this age focuses on the critical attributes of quadrilaterals and on the hierarchical relations among them. Learning means identifying critical attributes and non-critical attributes.
For example, "four sides," "two pairs of parallel sides," or "two pairs of equal opposite angles" are some of the critical attributes of a parallelogram; "two long sides and two short sides" or "two acute angles and two obtuse angles" are non-critical attributes. Learning in this sense means learning to analyze the attributes of different quads, to distinguish between their critical and non-critical attributes, and learning the hierarchy among quads. Quad2Go provides many examples of randomly constructed quads. Each example can be changed by dragging either its vertices or sides.
Major Features:
- Similarly to frequently used Dynamic Geometry Environments (DGE) such as the Geometric Supposer, Cabri Geometry, and the Geometer Sketchpad, Quad2Go offers geometric objects, tools to manipulate them, and measurement tools. It is limited to quadrilaterals and the construction of diagonals.
- Quad2Go allows users to construct, view, and transform quadrilaterals compatible with the ones constructed with straight edge and compass, to measure lengths, angles, and areas, and to manipulate the construction by dragging and transforming its shape.
- Dragging allows changing a shape by direct translation of parts of its components on the screen. Learning by DGE is closely related to theories of constructivist learning, in which meaning is constructed through the learners active participation.
Requirements:
- Java Enabled (J2ME) Phone - Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
- Screen Resolution: 128 x 96 and above
