The design pedadogical tools to train student is an interesting challenge for academic instructions in any educational area. Some approaches have appeared focusing on computer aritmetic, both integer and floating point. Floating-point arithmetic involves much more complexity; neverthless, little time is usually devoted to this topic in computer engineering undergraduate courses. In this paper, RAC FP is proposed as a pedagogical tool to work with floating-point in undergraduate courses. The tool has been designed with three abstraction levels according to the following learning outcomes: representation, aritmetic operation algorithms, and manufactured hardware circuits. The abstraction levels work independently, allowing for the use of RAC FP in other courses, such as discrete mathematics or numerical methods, in which floating point. The first goal is achieved as RAC FP shows how manufactured hardware implements generic algorithms.
