The Wolfram Demonstrations Project: Visualizing Algorithms and Mathematical Models
Over a thousand mathematical concepts demonstrates in The Wolfram Demonstrations Project from elementary education to front-line research, topics span an ever-growing array of categories and their quality look very impressive. Each example has code associated with it.
Conceived by Mathematica creator and scientist Stephen Wolfram as a way to bring computational exploration to the widest possible audience... In many ways, The Wolfram Demonstrations Project introduces a new paradigm for exploring ideas. The power to easily create interactive visualizations, once in the domain of computing experts alone, is now in the hands of every Mathematica user.
Demonstrations can be created with just a few short lines of readable code, powered by the revolutionary advances in Mathematica. This opens the door for researchers, educators, students, and professionals at any level to create their own sophisticated mini-applications and publish them online.
The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is part of a family of free online services from Wolfram Research, which includes MathWorld, the world's top mathematics website, as well as The Wolfram Functions Site, WolframTones, and more.

You can download and use any of the demonstrations using the free Mathematica player (which is fantastic... and I use these all the time in my math classes).
However... in order to create demonstrations, you will have to PURCHASE Mathmatica.
Oh... and there are now over TWO thousand Wolfram Demonstrations.
Some of my suggestions for how to use these in class are available on my blog:
