ALGEBRA WORLD: AN ALGEBRA INTRODUCTION
Windows or Macintosh CDROM
Algebra World teaches and reinforces algebra concepts in a fun environment. Equations and their relationship to word problems are emphasized throughout the program. This program combines detailed lessons developed with real world examples, along with interesting applications, such as gears, the Golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers, and exploring number patterns in flowers, spirals, and music. These applications alone motivate students to learn and enjoy math. Students solve math challenges to earn map puzzle pieces. The challenges serve as an assessment of the student's understanding of algebra. Students must understand the lessons and master problem solving in order to solve the challenges. This gives students a much needed sense of accomplishment and an assurance for you that they do understand the algebra concepts and applications presented. Algebra World can be used by individual students, for in-class presentations, or in group work. The lessons and applications make great interactive classroom presentations and provide rich material for discussion. The math challenges in the program's challenge sections are ideal for group work.
