Calculus in Motion

CALCULUS IN MOTION™ and ALGEBRA IN MOTION™ animations empower students with the ability to visualize and understand concepts like no still picture can.

Running "..In Motion" files on Sketchpad v5: All "..In Motion" files were revised in 2010 to run on BOTH Sketchpad v4 AND v5 (both Windows AND Macintosh).

UPDATES: All updates are free for 2 years from the date of the original purchase. To purchase additional 2-yr extensions (consecutive from last expiration date), click here. If within any 2-year free period, send an email with your CD’s 5-digit serial number (written on the CD’s front label) along with your name and school to amweeks@aol.com, and they will be attached back to you. Because you will be sent the ENTIRE revised collection in a compressed folder, be sure your email address accepts large attachments - NON-school accounts are best since most school servers will block this transmission. If you have any questions, email them to amweeks@aol.com.

CALCULUS UPDATES: JUNE 2012, June 2011 June 2010, June 2009, etc - update released every June since 2000
Contents of Latest Update: The 2012 update includes the FR animations from the 2012 AB & BC exams (be sure to check out AB5/BC5 - the growing bird problem), plus added features to several pages in the Volumes By Revolution file and the Riemann file.
NOTE: all Calculus In Motion files continue to be written to look the same on both v4 & v5 versions of Sketchpad, AND on both Windows & Macintosh platforms.

ALGEBRA UPDATES: NOVEMBER 2012, April 2010, Feb+Mar 2008, Mar 2007, Mar 2005, Mar 2004
Contents of Latest Update: The Nov 2012 update includes 4 optimization animations, 3 pendulum animations, a parabola animation comparing the 3 graphing forms & 3 new trig animations (defs on the unit circle, the ambiguous case for the Law of Sines, geometric approach to Trig Sums), PLUS, several existing files were revised with additional features.
NOTE: all Algebra In Motion files continue to be written to look the same on both v4 & v5 versions of Sketchpad, AND on both Windows & Macintosh platforms.

VIDEO DEMOS POSTED JAN 2008: Use the "Online demo" link at the left.

Two Sets Available:
     CALCULUS IN MOTION™
     191 animations of nearly every concept in a first year calculus course
     including animations of 2012-1997 AP Exam AB & BC Free Response Questions

ALGEBRA IN MOTION™
179 animations of key topics in Pre-Alg, Alg 1, Alg 2, Trigonometry, & Pre-Calculus

Requirements:
Each set runs on either WINDOWS or MACINTOSH platforms. The Geometer's Sketchpad v4 or v5 (available from McGraw Hill Education, https://www.mheonline.com/program/view/2/16/2647/00000SPAD#program) must reside on the computer. Since the animations themselves are data files, there is no ".exe" file to install and therefore there are no further requirements.
