Cool Tech Ways to Understand Maths!

This one is for those of us who are a little perplexed with Maths Concepts. I believe that a lot of us belong to a breed of learners called "Visual Learners". You need to "see" something to understand, and an equation is surely not the most visually appealing thing!

So, I keep hitting some of the cool things on the web that help understand maths by hands-on approach. Try these out, and do let me know if it helped your understanding of the concept:

1. Centres of a Triangle: To understand how the centroid, orthocentre, incentre and circumcentre behave in different types of triangles, visit http://www.mathopenref.com/trianglecircumcenter.html.

2. Graphs: To get a hands-on feel of a cubic and quadratic function, visit http://www.mathopenref.com/cubicexplorer.html

3. To understand relationships between a central and inscribed angle in a circle, visit http://members.shaw.ca/ron.blond/Circle.Geom1.APPLET/index.html

There are a lot more interesting things on the web to be used for education and learning. I have found a useful way of accumulating all that information using delicious. If you don't yet know about delicious, google it out and start using it. You can view all my bookmarks that might be of use to you too.
