NIMS Geometry 2010 (“wiki”) – Course information for Geometry at NIMS – Rock Island/WIU – http://nimsgeometry2010.pbworks.com/.

Geogebra – a free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus.

Click Here for Geoboard Dot paper and here for Isometric Dot Paper.

Area and Perimeter Applet from http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/

Virtual Geoboard (plain one) from http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/vlibrary.html

Geometric Solids from NCTM Illuminations (Note: shift-click to color faces and edges). Platonic Solid Duals – Investigate the solids and their duals.

Geodesics Domes and Spheres Page – page of links.

Beauty of Three Dimensional Polyhedra and Spatial Visualization – B3D – numerous links to three-dimensional geometry. Includes the “Truncate, Expand, Snubify” link.

Poly – really great (free) software (download and installation takes about 45 seconds!) for showing nets and polyhedra, such as the rhombicubeoctahedron.

Cut-outs, Nets – This applet folds a 2D net into a 3D object. Click and drag to manipulate the object/net.

Geometry Center – At Science U. Good stuff on tilings, symmetry, and more. Check out Kali, where you can interact with the frieze and wallpaper patterns.

Spaceship Builder – Area and perimeter game from CyberChase Games.
Point of View Game – 3D visualization game from CyberChase Games.

Polygons Around a Point – Use regular polygons to surround a point in a plane. Make designs. Record your designs. Try not to have gaps or overlaps.

Tessellate a Quadrilateral or Tessellate! (a triangle, rectangle, or hexagon) from Shodor Curriculum Materials.

Wingeom – dynamic geometry software. A free alternative to Geometer’s Sketchpad®.  Click here for a 1-page handout on Wingeom (Word doc). Part of Peanut Software.
