The purpose of this project was to design an interactive website to help the teaching of addition of nine, by the method of addition of ten, then subtraction of one, to Year Two, Key Stage One children.
Java 2 was used to write an applet, which was then suitably embedded within HTML and JavaScript in order to make a complete graphical user interface that was highly machine independent.
Research within schools, looking at the government guidelines, interviews with teachers and questionnaires helped in producing this website. The final website was then taken into a local school in order to observe children working upon the website and to evaluate it fully.
