I’ve Got Your Number
August 15th, 2009
If you teach elementary mathematics, stop what you’re doing and drop by the flash-powered Ptolemy Primitives page. You’ll be glad you did. Designed by Alec McEachran, a math teacher/software developer, this impressive web-based resource gives students an engaging means of visualizing the structure of numbers, in the context of their prime factors. For even more mathematical musings, read Alec’s blog.
Thanks for the positive review of my software. I’ve recently reskinned the site and put the software in a slightly different location. You can now find it at: http://ptolemy.co.uk/primitives.
