These are a series of short, interactive LUA applets that help students grasp the important ideas of specific indicators in the Common Core Curriculum. This collection contains applets that will help teachers implement Common Core Geometry Standard G-GPE 1, 3 for High School Mathematics. There are interactive demonstrations of the definitions for ellipses and hyperbolas, as well as opportunities to practice connecting the algebraic and graphical representations.

This activity serves as an introduction to the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines. The teacher will submit a linear equation and students will submit equations to lines that are either parallel or perpendicular to the given line. Students will analyze the equations submitted and write their own conclusions about the slopes of parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number of trials. The normal distribution is introduced, compared with the binomial distribution, and applied.

This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter. Problem 1 reviews the geometric definition of an ellipse as students calculate a and b from the perihelion and aphelion of Jupiter. Problem 2 develops the concept of a parametric curve by using a data capture to discover the coordinate equations of an ellipse.
