New Mathematical Demonstrations
Area Demonstrations
Our new suite of area demos is designed to build a strong visual understanding of how area formulas are derived. They all start with the foundational Area of a Rectangle. The other demos, for the Parallelogram, Trapezium, and Triangle, use interactive animations to transform those shapes. You'll see how a parallelogram or trapezium can be rearranged into a rectangle with the same area, and how a triangle is exactly half of a rectangle, visually proving their formulas.
- Area of a Rectangle - Explore the formula (base × height) with a visual grid
- Area of a Triangle - See how a triangle is half of a rectangle
- Area of a Parallelogram - Animate the shape to transform it into a rectangle
- Area of a Trapezium - Rearrange parts to form an equivalent rectangle
Updated Angles Demonstrations
The original basic angles activity has been replaced by two new, more focused demonstrations. The Measure Angles demo is for practicing estimation, classification (acute, obtuse), and manual measurement with a protractor. The Angle Rules demo focuses on calculating unknown angles by applying geometric rules, such as angles on a straight line (180°) or at a point (360°).
- Measure Angles - Practice estimating, classifying, and measuring angles
- Angle Rules - Solve problems using angle rules (90°, 180°, 360°)
Further Updates
- Pi (π) - Unroll a circle's circumference to discover the value of Pi
- Polygon Explorer - Create, manipulate, and explore the angles of various polygons
- Fractal Explorer - Explore geometric repetition by creating fractal trees
