ACTIVITIES FOR ALGEBRA
URL: http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/index.html
Here is a site that is useful AND fun! If you are one of those people that learn better through interaction, rather than just
reading and memorizing, then this site is perfect for you!
There are many activities that let you can brush up on some basic algebraic concepts. You could see how Venn Diagrams
work, play with the pattern in Pascal’s Triangle, tweak some slopes, practice graphing parabolas, or just mess around with
the Function Machine.
If you occasionally like to play a game of solitaire or tic-tac-toe during your coffee break, this site contains a broad
selection of mini-games for you to enjoy! There are many kinds of games for all types of people. I like to play the Maze
Game, which is a mix between minesweeper and a simple maze game. Or you could try playing the Coordinates Game,
(which I think is like an oversimplified version of battleship by the way). I can’t list them all, but there are many more, so
you should definitely check out this site!
