I reckon the neatest way is to use Microworlds and to create say 3 text boxes called Initial, Acceleration and Time and then have a 4th box called Final You can draw pipes, graphics and symbols to create a path for the equation u + a * t = Then create a button with the instruction Solve and then the procedure is created to solve setfinal initial + (Acceleration * time) end Users then enter the numbers in the top boxes, click the Solve button and the result pops up in the final box. There are lots of nifty ways to use this method to create visuals of equation solving, even animations of an object falling, moving etc., controlled by the outputs of the process. Lots of fun.
