The winner of the competition was Anthony Or with his pair of complementary applets on perimeter and area. Both applets have in-app spreadsheets for students to record their investigation results. These are excellent applets for visualising area and perimeter, addressing common misconceptions held by primary school students in a fun interactive way. | |||
