Pre-Algebra PowerPoint Lessons
These
lessons were created on a PC using
Windows XP and PowerPoint 97. The PC
lessons work fine on all the Windows
versions of PowerPoint as long as
MathType 5.2 has been installed.
MathType is an application that works
seemlessly within PowerPoint to write
complex mathematical symbols,
expressions, equations, and
inequalities. Without MathType 5.2, not
all of the equations can be read and
parenthesis can show up as giant block
letters. A free
30 day trial of MathType 5.2 is
offered on the Design Science website
and the equations can still be read
after the 30 day trial period is over.
However, its purchase is highly
recommended if you plan to edit these
lessons or write your own lessons.
MathType 5.1 for the Mac
has recently been released and reads all
previous versions of MathType and
Equation Editor for PC or Mac. It also
works well with PowerPoint OSX. If you
are using PowerPoint 2004, you will need
to visit the
Design Science web site to download
the free upgrade version of MathType 5.1
because the MathType version 5.0 is not
compatible with PowerPoint 2004 for Mac.
These
lessons will work on any system or
platform that will run the following
versions of PowerPoint and MathType.

Design Science's MathType mathematical
equation editing software for Windows

preparing tests and other classroom
materials, college students preparing
papers, college faculty preparing tests,
classroom materials, research papers,
Web pages, and presentations, and
scientists and engineers in industry and

MathType 5.2 is an OLE 2.0 object
server, allowing equation objects to be
placed in documents created by any
application that supports OLE, including
word processors, page layout programs,
presentation programs, databases,
graphing programs, etc. It also can

(WMF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS),

MathType 5.1 for
Macintosh
Design Science MathType™ 5 for Mac is
the most important release since
MathType 1.0. It has many new features
and enhancements, and they've added an
enormous amount of functionality that
effectively transforms Microsoft Word
into a state-of-the-art math word
processor and web page editor. One
remarkable new feature is the new
MathPage™ technology, that will
transform your Microsoft Word documents
into web pages with great-looking math.
They're excited to introduce a MathType
built for Mac OS X, which also runs on
OS 9. This new version is also
compatible with MathType for Windows,
and works with all popular major word
processors, presentation, page layout
programs and HTML-authoring tools.
Office 2004 for Macintosh:
MathType 5.1 supports Microsoft Office
2004. Earlier versions of MathType do
not support Office 2004.
Money Saving Tips
You may have PowerPoint installed
on your computer. It is part of the
Microsoft Office package. Also,
be sure to check with your computer or
school tech advisor. Your school or
district may already own a site license
to it.
