Animal See-SawAnimal See-Saw is a game for two players. Each player is given 12 animals. Players take it in turns to place an animal on their side of the see-saw - making sure that their side of the see-saw is never more than 5 kg heavier than the other side. The winner is the player who survives the game without ever being more than 5kg heavier than his/her opponent. If a player does become 5kg heavier than their opponent, the see saw falls, they lose and the game is over. If both players make it to the end of the game, the winner is the one with the most weight on his/her side.
Transformations of the Trig Functions with GeogebraThis Geogebra file shows dynamically how the graphs of the sine, cosine and tangent functions change as the parameters in their equations are changed. Thanks to Greg Bland for sharing this very visual activity. Geogebra is a powerful FREE dynamic geometry program. You can download it from
Projectile Motion with GeogebraThis is a very cool Geogebra file that shows the vectors involved in projectile motion. Thanks to Greg Bland for sharing this file. Three thumbs up! You can download the FREE dynamic geometry program Geogebra from Vectors with GeogebraThis zip file contains two Geogebra files that dynamically illustrate vector concepts - one that shows the forces on an object on an inclined plane and one that shows the resultant of three forces acting at a point. Thanks to Greg Bland for sharing these. Both are excellent teaching aids - 3 thumbs up! Geogebra is a fantastic FREE dynamic geometry program that can be downloaded from Derivative of a Cubic FunctionThis Geogebra file kindly submitted by Greg Bland dramatically illustrates that the derivative of a cubic function is a quadratic function.

Sketch-up Files: Volume and Cross-SectionsBill Newell has kindly shared some Google Sketch-up files on volume and cross-sections that he has created. Google Sketch-up is a free 3-D drafting and geometry tool that can be downloaded from: The files have been zipped, so you will need to unzip them before you can your them. Fifth Grade Maths ProblemYour task: Answer the question below. Then download and open the attached Excel spreadsheet. The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet. Add your name to the spreadsheet and send it on to see who else can unlock it. ** Note: This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. Also, there is no driver on the bus, so don't add any legs for a driver. There are 7 girls in a bus Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
