Slide Number 6
PhET simulations |
In this tutorial, we will use the Number Line: Operations PhET simulation. |
Point to the simulation in the Downloads folder
|
I have already downloaded the simulation to my Downloads folder. |
Double click on the number-line-operations_en.html file | To open the simulation, double click on the number-line-operations_en.html file.
|
Point to the simulation interface | This is the interface of the Number Line: Operations simulation. |
Point to each screen | The interface has four screens:
Chips, Net Worth, Operations, and Generic |
Click on Chips screen | Click on the Chips screen. |
Point to the number line | The screen has a number line to represent the total amount of chips or coins. |
Point to the Total box | The total can also be viewed at the top of the screen in the Total box. |
Point to the right panel next to the Positives bag | We can put chips in the Positives bag from the panel on the right.
|
Point to the left panel next to the Negatives bag
|
We can put chips in the Negatives bag from the panel on the left.
|
Point to the information checkboxes | On the top left, we have the following checkboxes.
|
Point to the reset button | The reset button takes us back to the starting point of the simulation. |
Point to the right panel next to the Positives bag | Let us put the +1 chip in the Positives bag. |
Point to the number line | The description tells us we have added a positive 1 to the total amount.
|
Point to the Total box | The total amount is now 1. |
Point to the left panel next to the Negatives bag | Let us now put the -1 chip in the Negatives bag. |
Point to the number line | The description tells us we have added a negative 1.
|
Point to the Total box.
Add annotation while editing. |
The total amount is now 0 as 1 + (-1) is 0.
|
Point to the number line | However, we know 1 - 1 is also equal to 0.
|
Point to right panel next to the Positives bag | Let us put +2 in the Positives bag. |
Point to the number line | The mark on the line moves two places to the right. |
Point to right panel next to the Positives bag | Let us further put +4 in the Positives bag. |
Point to the number line | The mark on the line now moves four places to the right. |
Point to the Total box | The total is now 0 + 2 + 4 which is 6. |
Point to the left panel next to the Negatives bag | Let us put the -5 chip in the Negatives bag. |
Point to the number line | The description tells us we have added a negative 5.
|
Point to the Total box | Hence, the total is 6 + (-5) which is 1.
|
Point to the Negatives bag | Let us now remove the -1 chip from the Negatives bag. |
Point to number line | The description tells us we have removed a negative 1.
|
Point to the Total box | The total amount is now 1 - (-1) which is 2.
|
Click on the Net Worth screen | Click on the Net Worth screen. |
Point to the right panel next to the Positives bag | In the right panel, we have different assets.
|
Point to the left panel next to the Negatives bag
|
In the left panel, we have debts.
|
Point to the Net Worth box | Using the Net Worth box on the top, we can calculate the net worth.
|
Slide number 7
Assets and Debts table |
See the following table.
Pause the video here and perform these transactions using the Net Worth screen. It will calculate the net worth of a person.
|
Point to the number line | After performing these operations, the final net worth of a person is $100. |
Click on the Operations screen | Click on the Operations screen. |
Point to the number line | The screen has a number line to represent net worth. |
Point to the Initial Net Worth box
|
At the bottom, there is an Initial Net Worth box.
|
Point to the top right box.
Point to the up and down arrow buttons.
|
On the top right, there is an option to perform two transactions.
|
Point to the plus button.
Scroll the right arrow to move to right slide. |
We can add an asset or debt using the plus button.
We can remove an asset or debt using the minus button.
|
Point to the Net Worth box
Point to equals button |
The Net Worth box next to it displays the net worth amount.
|
Point to the information check boxes | On the top left, we have the following check boxes.
|
Point to the eraser button | The eraser button takes us back to the initial net worth. |
Click the reset button | Let us reset our screen. |
Point to the Initial Net Worth box | Let us set an initial net worth of $200. |
Point to the top right box | Now let us add debt of $300 to the net worth of $200. |
Point to the Net Worth box | The net worth is now 200 + (-300). |
Click and hold the Simplify button | Click and hold the Simplify button.
Adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting its additive inverse. |
Click and hold the equals button | Click and hold the equals button.
This means the person is in debt of $100. |
Point to the top right box | Let us add assets of $500.
|
Point to the Net Worth box | The net worth is now 200 + (-300) +500. |
Click and hold the Simplify button | Click and hold the Simplify button again.
|
Click and hold the equals button | Click and hold the equals button.
This means the person has assets of $400. |
Click on Generic screen | Click on the Generic screen.
|
Point to the Scale | From this list, we can select the scale of the number line.
|
Point to the net worth representations | We can choose between representing one or two numerical expressions.
|
Point to the information check boxes | On the top left, we have the following check boxes.
|
Point to the number line | You can explore the Generic screen yourself. |
Only Narration. | With this, we have come to the end of this tutorial.
Let us summarise. |
