Feel free to send comments to dmackinnon1[at]gmail[dot]com :)Nested Twisted Squares - GSP IterationSimson Wallace Line and Steiner HypocycloidA GSP file to go along with this post. Gambler Fallacy - two Fathom filesHere are two Fathom documents for exploring the gambler's fallacy. The first has the simulation, the second has the simulation along with some tables and plots. Simple Harmonic Motion, Lissajous Figures, Adding SinesThis gsp file includes several constructions involving trig functions and circular motion, as mentioned in this post. Arithmetic, Geometric, and Harmonic Means ConstructionThis gsp file shows a construction for the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of two line segments.gsp file Processing code for Scrambler FractalGSP Hypocycloids and EpicycloidsResource file for this post. gsp fileGSP Origamics - Turned Up Parts (TUPs)Resources for this post. turned up parts gsp file turned up parts solution gsp file Colourful Multiplication TablesFathom and TinkerPlots files for exploring an mxm multiplication table - see this post. Number Spirals and Polygonal Numbers in FathomFile for exploring polygonal numbers along a quadratic number spiral, as described in this post. Modeling Phyllotaxis in Fathomfathom (version 2.11) fileFile for phyllotaxis-like images as described in this post.Random Walks in TinkerPlotsA random walks simulation that lets you choose the turning angle. A random walks simulation where the walker faces only North, South, East or West. See the description in this post. Conditional Probability Simulation in Fathomfathom file Drawing Polygonal Numbers in TinkerPlotsDraws polygonal number diagrams (2-dimensional) as described in this post. Digits of Pi in TinkerPlotstinkerplots fileA pi "quilt" in TinkerPlots, as described in this post. 10000 digits of pi (text file) This is an a format for importing directly into Fathom or TinkerPlots, and was used for this post. Pascal's Triangle in TinkerPlotstinkerplots filePascal Triangle diagram in TinkerPlots, including its modular patterns. Full instructions for how to implement this is found in my April 2009 Mathematics Teacher article. The article is available for download here. Monty Hall in Fathomfathom fileThis is a slightly different from the version described in this blog post. Window Patterns in GSPgsp fileSome examples of "window patterns" as iterations in GSP, as described in this post. Drawing Regular Connected Star Polygons in TinkerPlotsDraws regular, connected polygons of the form {p/q} in TinkerPlots, as described in this post. A Spherical Tetrahedron ModelA template for constructing a spherical tetrahedron, as described in Wenniger's Polyhedron Models, and in this post. |
