Math Applets

Try out these applets designed by Alberta Education to test your understanding of your concepts in math.

• Comparing Slope:  A mini-applet that shows you how the value for the slope of a line is related to its steepness.
• Finding the slope of a line segment: A really well designed applet that shows you how to calculate the slope of any line segment.
• Finding the length of a line segment: Or better known as the distance between two points.  A really nice, easy program to use.
• Finding the midpoint of a line segment: Another very well designed applet to use.
