Here are some more links:
This applet allows the student to move the "person" and observe the results on a

This applet is similar to the NCTM applet, but has more features.  This is a

runner or runners are doing as a result in the change in the graph:  Distance

This one is more for studying simultaneous equations, but the kids will enjoy
the cat and the mouse.  Again, this is a "for pay" site:

Enjoy!
