<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>BENEFITS OF FUNFORMS:</STRONG>
Funforms are basically <B>binary</B> in design (although a trinary system also
exists). The idea of place order is preserved, but <B>coefficients are
unnecessary</B> except transiently during manipulation. The meaning of the
number is obvious to anyone with passing familiarity. That is to say that
the formulae are <B>iconic</B> or <B>ideographic</B>. <BR><BR>Most
importantly, as the user applies Funforms, <B>mathematical operations become
transparent</B>, and understanding of the nature of the mathematical transaction
becomes apparent to the user. <BR><BR>Funforms operate mechanically,
somewhat like an abacus or a slide rule.<BR><BR>We believe that Funforms can be
taught to preschoolers as a game. It may have advantages in teaching
mathematical concepts to children and adults with learning disabilities for
math. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
