Welcome to my home page

I spent some time on how to make understanding of mathematics and physics easier by means of some innovative, creative, interactive toys.
These are some samples from this effort. They are demo animated gifs which have no interactions. Ones with interactivity, written in Java, are at www.meraklisina.com.tr

Division Visualization of division algorithm. 21 divided by 6 equals to 3 with remainder of 3. The number of balls in the incompletely filled row is the remainder. Number of columns is the quotient. I accept that both the quotient and the remainder being 3 was a bad idea. Would be much better if it were 22:6=3r4. Maybe next time.		Subtraction Visualization of subtraction using slide rule		Fractions Visualization of fractions. 1/8, 2/8, …, 8/8.
Multiplication “Proof” of commutativity of multiplications. (2×3)x4=2x(3×4).		Triangle “Proof” of the area of a triangle.
