Active Math Java
Item formats
 

Active Math Java offers three item layouts:

  • Right hand side: This is the conventional layout with the answer on the right hand side.
  • Middle: This is the first algebraic format in the form a + x = b, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x. Some people call this a number puzzle.
  • Left hand side: This is the second algebraic format in the form x + a = b, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x. Some people call this a number puzzle.

Active Math Java offers four numeric operations:

  • Addition
  • Subtraction
  • Multiplication
  • Division

Active Math Java offers seven orders of magnitude:

  • Whole integers: These are traditional primary school sums, differences, products and quotients of whole numbers.
  • Whole tens: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are raised by a single power of 10 for addition and subtraction, but only a is raised by a single power of 10 for multiplication and division.
  • Whole hundreds: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are raised by the second power of 10 for addition and subtraction, while for multiplication and division both a and b are raised by a single power of 10.
  • Whole thousands: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are raised by the third power of 10 for addition and subtraction, while for multiplication and division a is raised by the second power of 10 and b is raised by a single power of 10.
  • One Decimal Place: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are reduced by a single power of 10 for addition and subtraction, but only a is reduced by a single power of 10 for multiplication and division.
  • Two Decimal Places: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are reduced by the second power of 10 for addition and subtraction, while for multiplication and division both a and b are reduced by a single power of 10.
  • Three Decimal Places: For items in the conventional form a + b = x, where a and b are given and the student has to solve for x, both a and b are reduced by the third power of 10 for addition and subtraction, while for multiplication and division a is reduced by the second power of 10 and b is reduced by a single power of 10.
