12. Multiples
- the concept of multiple
13. Multiplication Tables
- learning multiplication and division
- four types of multiplication tables
14. Number axes
- axis of integers
- axis of decimals
- learning arithmetic with integers and decimals
15. Place value system
- three sets of blocks
- natural numbers, decimals, all together
16. Algebra
- three sets of blocks
- calculating values, simplifying, sum and difference, solving equations
A UNIFORM WAY TO USE EVERY SET:
Each set is arranged on the screen on a "checkered sheet".
You can move in any direction with the Left Joystick. You can also zoom in or out with the Right Joystick.
You can write on each sheet of paper with your finger after activating the pencil and erase existing drawings with a broom.
Each page can be reset at any time.
Each element from the set can be "dragged" onto the screen any number of times - you are limited only by the size of the "checkered sheet " and your imagination.
Each element can be:
- rotated,
- dragged to another place,
- checked or unchecked,
- deleted.
The colours can be changed many times in the "Mosaics" collection.
The rods from the "All Together" set can be changed in the number presentation mode - fractions/decimals/percentages.
The rods from the "Decimals" set can be put on top of each other to obtain the effect of "eating a positive number by a negative number". The rods representing negative numbers are slightly transparent - so that you can see through them how much of the positive number has been "eaten".
If you think that something is missing or should have some additional functionality - let me know by e-mail.
I have intentionally not implemented the automatic calculation mechanism - showing the Student the current result of his operation - in my opinion it would be a didactic error. This is because he or she can learn this result on his own, cleverly using the remaining blocks - the teacher/parent only has to show him how to do it. The student will learn only when he comes to the result on his own.
I wish you effective/enjoyable learning/fun.
