Make a Rule
This interactive
demonstrates the relationship between a real-life situation, the
values it presents and the mathematical equation that generates
those values.
— From Linear Functions

Mixing Orange Juice
This problem
addresses proportions and highlights the difference between part-to-part
and part-to-whole ratios. Within the problem there is a link to
an interactive that provides a visual for thinking about ratios.

Number Cruncher
In this interactive
game, users guess which function the Number Cruncher has selected
by suggesting an "in" number and watching as the machine produces
an "out" number.
— From Developing Algebraic Thinking

The Race
This problem
provides a visual and a graphical comparison of actual speed and
average speed over an entire race. Within the problem there is a
link to an interactive that relates a visual image of a race with
its graphical representation.
