Applets for Teachers 
Here are some Java Applets that teachers might find useful. All were tested on Internet Explorer 5.0
Written on Apple Macintosh, I hope that they will run on Windows(tested on XP), Linux, Solaris and, of course, Macintosh.
Please report any bugs, complaints or suggestions to robertsomerville@yahoo.co.uk

RobsLearningFun - Most of the Matching Pairs programs are written in C for Windows PCs on my RobsLearningFun site.
You will also find Number Target, a series of animated games giving practice in Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division - click on the moving ball containing the correct answer to make it explode.

For more FreeWare fun try Number Invaders - arithmetic where the question is asked - the answers are the space invaders but only the correct one may be shot down.

My latest game is a FREE and complete Windows program called Ambush. This is a board game where 2 to 4 players, including the computer, if you wish, play against each other, using their arithmetic skills, to collect rings and take them home. Be careful though! Some of the other players might Ambush you and take your rings. Of course, you can always decide to Ambush them, if you are sharp enough.
All of the programs in RobsLearningFun are FreeWare - complete and with no fee!
