... here's what sold me on this program. While doing PSAT
preparation we learned that my oldest (and math resistant)
daughter was weak on probability, so I had her work with the
Word Problems/Probability CD. Initially she had some trouble.
Now, normally this would mean waiting till the regular math
tutor (me) was available, but because of the immediate and
untiring ability of this program to provide help (lessons, an
infinite number of sample problems, general guidance in how to
start and hints for specific problems) she was able to
understand the new concepts on her own!

MATH-TEACHER makes the teaching and learning of math as easy as math can get! Mathematics builds progressively from concept to concept. MATH-TEACHER helps students understand each concept before moving on to the next. Each lesson first presents the concepts and an infinite number of sample problems.
The interactive tutorial requires no pencils and paper! No
multiple choice or fill in the blank, MATH-TEACHER
understands every step of a student's solution! Students
type symbolic expressions in a free-style format,
MATH-TEACHER analyzes each line and indicates whether it
is correct or not. This analysis detects common mistakes
and provides focused help. The process repeats until the
answer is reached. MATH-TEACHER perceives the proficiency
of the student and generates problems accordingly.
Several levels of help are provided, including:
Each module covers 1 to 1.5 years of mathematical
concepts. The Customization Utility allows the instructor
to fine tune and control the tutorial and on-screen tests.
The timed On-screen Tests display all problems so the
student can choose the one to answer next (duration,
difficulty and scope can be customized).
The Problems Generator for Printed Tests prints problems
with and without answers, as homework or as hardcopy
tests. The step-by-step answers are complete with
explanations, charts, figures, graphs, and tables.
The Calculator provided in MATH-TEACHER is designed to
work with algebraic expressions. Rational expressions
yield both rational and the approximate real results.
Student scores are collected automatically to simplify
record keeping.
These unique features make MATH-TEACHER the private tutor
of each student!
