Applets

An applet is a program written in Java and is part of the components of an Internet page. Applets have been used to provide functionality to Internet pages that cannot be satisfied using HTML only. The idea of applets is that they are small enough to provide functionality.

• Some examples of the functionality for which applets are used are:
• Specialized functions, such as applets to calculate the value of the angle inscribed in a circumference and circumcenter of a triangle.
• Show image sequences and add visual effects.
• Show pictures with sounds and add sound effects.
• Allow the presentation of interactive graphics, reacting to actions that are taken with the mouse on the graph.
• Text animations and special effects on them.
• Create diagrams and graphs, such as the classic pie slice graph.
• Simple games.

These applet can be very useful for subjects like mathematics. Researching the web I found a page that offers links to different apples, specializing in primary education.

After the visualization and testing of these, I can determine that they are a great help and I think they are very well created.

I recommend you all to have a look because I think they can be very useful for your students. 

They are very motivating because they use many images and sounds. In addition the current students are very focused on new technologies, so it is a point that we must take advantage in our classroom.

The website is of the Government of the Canary Islands and is divided by cycles, which facilitates the search to the teacher.  It can also be used in other subjects such as English and even physical education.

I'll let you link down here so you can look at it:
