How to link to my mathematical games
One Simple Rule
Many teachers find it easier to create a web page of their own, and link to several of my math games individually from that. To me, that makes the most sense. Feel free to do so.
That way, you can decide to only include the puzzles or interactive resources that are appropriate to your students, and add any additional information they might find useful.
What to Add
A link to the Frogs Puzzle might look like this:
<a href="http://www.hellam.net/maths2000/frogs.html"> The Frogs Puzzle</a> Can you move the frogs from one end of the pond to the other? A mathematics investigation based on a traditional puzzle
The Frogs Puzzle Can you move the frogs from one end of the pond to the other? A mathematics investigation based on a traditional puzzle
Further guidelines
You may also find it useful to have a link open in a new page. You can do this by adding target="_blank" to your link, like this:
<a href="http://www.hellam.net/maths2000/frogs.html" target="_blank" title="Frogs Puzzle - Math Game> The Frogs Puzzle</a> Can you move the frogs from one end of the pond to the other? A mathematics investigation based on a traditional puzzle

School Intranets
I'm sometimes asked if I have any objection to a school 'whacking' some of my games onto their local intranet. Typically from schools in poorer, less-developed countries where internet access is expensive and unreliable.
I have no problem at all with my games being used in this manner - although, obviously, some of them may not work properly if you try to do this.
Movie Size
Sometimes I get the odd email from a disappointed teacher who has a high resolution VGA projector, and is naturally disappointed that the default size of my interactivities looks a little bit small and off-centre.
If that's you, then why not try linking straight to the flashfile itself. Like this: Fraction Shading Puzzle
Sample Links
For those of you who would like to add links to some of my puzzles to your site, but are not sure about how to do it. Here's a handy little tool to help you:Screenshots
If you need to use screenshots to illustrate a link, you may do so: for example:
Banners, buttons and logos
When I get the time, I'll come up with some banners and buttons you could use to link if you prefer.
