Active Math Java
Activity Description
This is an interactive math activity, intended for primary school children from 7 to 12 years
or older children who need to improve their number skills. It responds to student performance and offers items designed to
match their ability. The opening items are easy, but they quickly get
harder if the student responds deftly.
The student can select which math activity they prefer by selecting addition,
subtraction, multiplication or division from the first dropdown box. The
student can also elect to complete 5, 10, 15 or 20 items using the second
dropdown box.
It is ideal for home education, remote and distance education, remedial math
tutoring, or just a bit of math practice, in the evenings, weekends or school
holidays.
Note of Caution
This educational software applet is in its earliest stage of
development. The code may still contain errors, and it may not always work
perfectly.
Java Run Time Engine (JRE)
You need the JRE installed on your computer to run this Applet. If you
are using Windows Vista it should already be installed, but if you are using
Windows XP or earlier you have to install it yourself. Click
here for instructions and a link to download the file. If you don't
have the JRE installed on your computer, you will just see a box where the
Applet is supposed to be.
Active Math CD
A mature CD version of the software, with 25 activities, from the Number
Strand of the Western Australian Math Curriculum, is available for sale here
or on eBay.
