REVIEW:
Math Cove is the math teacher's dream. Using Java applets, this professor has put together a visual, interactive way of teaching a few of those not-so-easy mathematical concepts. This wealth of teaching resources includes 23 lessons on graph theory and an interactive puzzle, Trominos. The transformations lessons include reflections, rotations, and translations. The high school geometry section teaches everything you need to know about angles from the types of angles to measuring angles to adding angles. If you're up to it, the Instructor's Notes offers tips on using and writing your own Java applets.
