The Active Plot Widget
Create an interactive math plot. If you enter a formula, students can play around with the parameters and immediately see the effect on the plot, thereby developing an intuition for how the formula "works".

Check out these quick lesson ideas for teachers on how to use a BookWidgets Active Plot activity in the classroom.
This interactive activity brings quadratic graphs to life, helping students visually explore how changing values affect the curve’s shape and position. It is perfect for deepening understanding, promoting inquiry, and supporting diverse learners. Students can experiment freely, making abstract concepts more concrete and engaging.
Bring algebra to life with this interactive linear functions activity! Students can easily change the slope and y-intercept to see how these parts affect the graph in real time. It’s an effective way to help students understand how equations work. You can use this activity to introduce the concept because it makes the math visual and easier for students to grasp.
Students create shapes like circles and ellipses by entering a single formula into the graph. As they explore how changing values affects the shape, they gain a deeper understanding of the relationships behind the math. It's a creative and visual way to introduce parametric curves and spark curiosity. A perfect classroom energizer to encourage experimentation and critical thinking.
Students experiment with formulas and instantly see how the graph responds. This interactive activity encourages creativity and helps them explore mathematical relationships in a visual way. It’s ideal for a quick, engaging math break that still builds understanding.
Compare linear and exponential functions easily with an active plot. This interactive tool highlights the differences between steady and rapid growth. Perfect for students and educators who want to visualize math concepts clearly.
Bring science to life with this interactive Active Plot activity. Students can experiment with waves on a string and instantly see how changes in frequency or amplitude affect the motion. A dynamic way to visualize abstract physics concepts and spark curiosity in the classroom.
We’ve gathered some interesting blog posts from the BookWidgets teacher blog that show Active Plot widget lesson plans and the configuration possibilities for teachers.
