Java versions of TIMA: Bars have been developed
with funding from the Eisenhower Higher Education program.
Educators are welcome to use JavaBars for testing, teaching or research purposes. No license is required.
NEW! Latest version of JavaBars for Mac 10.7 (Lion) Note: This should also work with all previous versions of Mac OSX from 10.2 onwards.
Latest Installer for Windows 7 and Vista
Note: The latest InstallAnywhere Enterprise installer software was used to create this installed version for Mac OSX (Lion) and the installer for Windows & and Vista. The free-trial may expire on September 9, 2011 so please try these new installations before that date.
Tested! Click
here to download the Windows Vista and Windows 7 JavaBars installer.
Acknowledgement:
Many thanks to Paul Lineback at IUPUI for
creating this new installer for JavaBars.
Note:
You may have trouble
finding the installed JavaBars5LX program on your Windows
machine. This installer does not create an automatic desktop
link. Check the following location C: Program Files(x86):
JavaBars5LX. A
search for JavaBars5LX may not find it (don't ask me why -- ask
Microsoft!)
Coming soon! A Chinese version of JavaBars for those who have a
Chinese
Language version of Mac OS, Windows, Linux or other UNIX machines.
This version was compiled by Ching-Hua Chien from Taiwan.
A manual for operating JavaBars
(written by Dr. Heide Wiegel) can be downloaded by clicking on
the following link. It is a Microsoft Word document. Download

Sample activities written
by Dr. Wiegel (as part of an Eisenhower-funded workshop with Middle
Grades teachers) can also be downloaded as a Microsoft Word document:

Student Tasks from the TIMA Bars manual re-written for JavaBars. These activities were created for TIMA Bars by Professor Leslie P. Steffe and myself. Download the JavaBars_Task_All file by clicking here.
Disclaimer! There is a known bug when breaking apart a bar that was created using the REPEAT function -- one extra bar will be created from the separated parts of the broken apart bar. E.g. if you create a small bar, repeat it 3 times to make a 4-part larger bar, then break this 4-part bar apart, 5 small bars (all congruent to the original small bar) will be created. The extra bar is hidden beneath the last of the repeated bars.
Pierre Sutherland (a doctoral student at UGA from South Africa) has fixed this known bug. I will replace the above installation files with the fixed version very soon!
Dr. Barry Biddlecomb
programmed JavaBars. Please address any queries concerning
use of JavaBars to Dr. John Olive.
