Interactive Mathematics eBook: Angles Related to Straight Lines

Abstract

In this project, cross-platform interactive learning materials of the mathematics topic, Angles Related to Straight Lines, are created for lower form students studying in secondary school. As technological developments have been growing prosperously, infusing technological elements into learning materials alongside traditional teaching will be a new direction in education. For this reason, this project aims to develop interactive exercises that are intended to help students to build interest and confidence in mathematics, and to strengthen their skills in solving mathematical problems. Based on the two intentions, the materials are created in three main directions - attractive and interesting, easy to use, and self-challenging. In the project, I have developed the web pages using NetBeans with programming languages including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, KineticJS library and Raphaël library. Throughout the eBook, a consistent content flow is maintained that each section first starts with a theorem or an activity for students to perceive the concepts, then examples and quizzes come later for examining students’ understanding, and the mini game is for students to review the chapters and enjoy learning. Hopefully, the eBook can improve classroom atmosphere and motivate students to learn mathematics more actively.
