Optimization Skill Building

Here are two games I'd like you to spend some time playing to build your spatial visualization skills:

• 3D Tic Tac Toe


• Can You Build It? Yes You Can!
  (Click on the [+] next to the word Explorations. Use the tools to build the illustrated solid.)

Also spend some time refamiliarizing yourself with the properties and formulas for various geomteric shapes and solids.

• An Interactive Course on Shapes


• Interactive Solid Geometry
  

Finally, some reviews and quizzes on solving optimization problems.

• Max and Min of a Function Problems Tutorial


• Distance-time Optimization Problems Tutorial


• Area Optimization Problems Tutorial


• Using Derivatives to Graph Functions Tutorial


• Problem Solving Quiz
  (Do only questions 1-3.)


• Optimization Problems with Solutions and Animations
  (The animations are great! They'll really help you to understand what's going on.)

Email me if you hit any snags. ;-)

Cheers!
