A key feature of the program is that it actually understands algebra. Unique to this program
The Mathemagic Computer Tutor uses Free Format Mathematics.
- Free format mathematics is unique… it allows a student to solve a
problem anyway he or she chooses. The program marks the student’s
progress line by line providing coaching, remediation and extensions
whenever necessary. - The program does not choose questions from a limited set of
possibilities; it generates questions according to your abilities. This
means there is an unlimited number of questions in the program. The
questions are not necesseraly in a database, but it is the machines
algorithms that generate the questions. - The program can check working not just answers; this is called free format programming!
Advantages of free format
- The strong student will always be challenged
- It will hinder the weak student to be able to learn parrot fashion.
