This is a simple simulation that shows the difference between one-dimensional motion, that can be described by means of one axis, the x-axis, and the two-dimensional motion, that needs an additional axis, the y-axis to be described.
In this game, you must employ the projectile equations to win.
The game consists of three levels, each of which must be completed by scoring at least 8 out of a possible 10 tries. In the first level, you must hit a ground target that shifts position after each attempt. In the second level, you will need to alter the ball’s trajectory to pass over a wall. In the third level, the target flies and changes position both horizontally and vertically in each trial.
This story always reminds me how much work we still have to do in Lebanon to bridge the gap in technological literacy among educators!
Elementary math teachers know the importance of this model in teaching the concept of applying distributive property in area model.
The idea is to break one large area (which represents the product of two numbers) into several pieces (products of smaller numbers), then to find the areas of the pieces individually, and finally add to get the area of the whole (the product of the given numbers).
If this future becomes reality, there will be a massive wave of job displacement as AI takes over across various industries and job markets. But a wide horizon of opportunities will rise. Instead of a position of making decisions in a company, there will be a position of training the AI to make that decision and to maintain its logic.
As a bizarre example, companies might not need IT (Information Technology) officers anymore! Instead, they might employ AIT (Artificial Intelligence Technology) officers, whose main responsibility is training and maintaining the company’s AI model to solve the company’s technical issues!
Looking back, I wish I had access to tools like DeepSeek. During my development process. In my recent experimenting with this open-source AI model, I’ve found it provides structured, research-paper-like responses with meaningful technical information from the first interaction. This would have significantly streamlined my research phase. Definitely, DeepSeek wouldn’t have appeared if ChatGPT hadn’t existed in the first place. But the super abilities that DeepSeek came with as it came into existence, plus being open-source, makes it super competent to the existing AI tools.
If you or your student or child are having difficulties in learning long division, then you will find this simulation comprehensive and instructional, that guides the learner through the process step by step. This application is for long division with remainder. Another application on long division with float quotient is also available in the simulations section.
