About these Web Pages Following the Internet publication of Visual Multiplication Table which has generated considerable amount of interest and Visual Elementary Addition we have created another set of high tech helpers for the rational learning of very elementary math. This time we are offering the Visualisation of Elementary Fractions. It again is intended to have the two versions. The applet version (look in the menu) for use on the Internet or your own computer with the help of an applet enabled browser, and the stand alone Visual Basic version working on Windows95 and WindowsNT platforms. The Visualisation of Elementary Fractions has the two tools. The simpler of them lets create and compare several proper rational fractions. The more advanced tool beside the creation and comparison lets add and subtract these fractions. Each of these Internet helpers is placed on its own page with technical instructions how to use it. The basic facts for a teaching person about elementary fractions, illustrated with instructional examples are placed in the Didactic Page. Information about downloading these pages with the applets and their available Visual Basic versions can be found in Download Page. This page also contains information about the installation of these materials on your own computer. Such installation makes you independent on the actual availability of the Internet or accessibility of our server, and assures quick access to these materials. All this software can be distributed freely for noncommercial, educational purposes to all who want to better our children's understanding of elementary math. You also can use the included applets in your own web pages as long as you place there the referencing link. Moreover, you can make changes to these applets as long as you follow the conditions that are stated in their source files. The code sources are included in the zipped package of these pages. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to send us e-mail. We will try to answer your questions as soon as possible, but due to our regular duties it may take a while. Also during summer we may be out of town. Edward Kluk,Professor Emeritus Dept. of Natural Sciences Michael Frank, Dept. of Math & Computer Science Mats Mangru, Dept. of Math & Computer Science
