         MATHEMATICS RELATED APPLETS ON THE INTERNET 

     http://www.albertaonline.ab.ca/resources/MathApplets.htm

  The collection was compiled by Jim Reed and is hosted by the
  Alberta Online Consortium, an association that advocates and
  facilitates distance learning in the public school system of
  Alberta, Canada.

  The 33 links to Java applets are organized under the
  NCTM strands: Number, Shape and Space, Patterns and Relations, 
  Statistics and Probability.  They cover grades K through 
  12, with an emphasis on elementary through high school grades.

  All these applets provide interactive environments or
  activities in which to learn certain math concepts. Applets 
  range from the usual "Algebra Tiles" to the original 
  "Five in a Row."
