Description:	Interactive Java tutorials, labs, and lessons for making angles; caroming billiard balls; investigating wavelengths of rainbows; constructing and measuring angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals; exploring ratios of terms in the Fibonacci-like sequences; testing 3-D glasses; drawing 3-D cubes, I-beams, and emeralds; and producing SIRDS (Single Image Random Dot Stereogram). Step-by-step constructions for bisecting a segment, bisecting an angle, copying an angle, dropping a perpendicular, and drawing the golden spiral. Calculators for simplifying square roots, simplifying fraction numerators and denominators, and deducing the third leg of a right triangle, factor by factor.
