Why JavaScript is Great for Primary School Students



Primary-Level Factors to Consider About the JavaScript Programming Language

JavaScript is the language of web pages.
Each time you surf on any website, you are simply viewing the different web pages on that site.
Many primary educators use JavaScript for maths exercises because of its simplicity and readability.


HTML Markup for Primary Beginners

HTML stands for Hypertext Mark-up Language.
Like the name says, it is a standard (mark-up) that instructs browsers on how to display (render) web pages.

HTML is written by the use of tags that come mostly in pairs (though a few of them are single).
The tags that come in pairs have a start and end tag.


Purpose and Functional Use of JavaScript

JavaScript brings web-pages to life.
A simple web page (HTML) without JavaScript cannot be interacted with.

To use JavaScript in HTML, the <script> ... </script> tags are used.
Everything in between these tags are processed as code before the browser adds the result to the static HTML mark-up.


In this primary section, we have written all our maths educational exercises and demonstrations in JavaScript. Beginners to programming can easily follow our demonstrations and interactive JavaScript lessons.


Note: Native programming languages, unlike JavaScript, require the installation of a compiler and Linker for their use.

Feel free to try out any of the heavyweight (native) code language if programming appeals to you.

It's fun though, we can assure you of that!
