- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the the concept of adjacent arcs. The user can 3 drag points around a circle that define the endpoints of two adjacent arcs. Web page has the properties of adjacent arcs. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the the concept of the central angle subtended by an arc. The applet shows an arc and the corresponding central angle. As the arc endpoints are dragged the angle changes. The page gives the formula for the central angle based on the arc length and radius. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of arc length. The applet shows a circle with part of its circumference highlighted and the central angle shown. As the user drags either end of the arc it is redrawn and the calculation for arc length changes as you drag. The text on the web page gives the formula for calculating the arc length. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of the peripheral angle (inscribed angle) of an arc. This is the angle subtended at the circle circumference of an arc. The applet shows an arc with draggable end points and the angle it subtends at the circumference. It is seen that this angle is constant for a constant arc length. It shows also what happens when the vertex is inside the arc that subtends it The web page has links to other arc properties and a formula for the subtended angle for a given arc length. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of the intercepted arc - 'That part of a circle that lies between two lines that intersect it'. The applet shows a circle with part of it's circumference highlighted and the central angle shown. As the user drags either end of the arc it is redrawn and the intercpted arc changes. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
NBC's Lester Holt looks at the science of projectile motion and parabolas with the help of former NFL punter Craig Hentrich. NSF-funded scientists Jim Gates from the University of Maryland and John Ziegert of Clemson University, and NSF-funded mathematician Rhonda Hughes from Bryn Mawr College, explain the significance of vertical and horizontal velocity on the trajectory every time an NFL punter kicks a football into the sky. "Science of NFL Football" is a 10-part video series funded by the National Science Foundation and produced in partnership with the National Football League.
