Math software

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Does anyone know of any software math and logic programs that break the information down into individual steps and has examples. I am looking for math help in fractions, deciminals, algebra, and geomentory. Was also wondering if there are any self-paced logic programs out there. If you do please respond to: [email protected]

Thanks

It may be just the software you are looking for.

Dear Sharon,
My name is Rebecca and I am very interested in your question. When I was in high school, I took the courses Algebra 1 and 2 on a computer software in a classroom. We logged on everyday when class started and went at our own pace. We learned new concepts, took quizzes, and if we ever needed any help we had a teacher available to help us. I liked the software better because I was able to teach myself. I did not base everything on memorization because I had to learn how to do the problems. I enjoyed the classes very much and I recommend the software to everyone.
To answer your question, I went on the internet and found some interesting software that resembles what I used back in high school. The first one I found is as www.arpinternational.com. It is the Aardsma Research and Publishing. They have a math software for grades 1-6. It has the memorization of the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the problems you were interested. It has over 600 drills of math facts and adapts to every individual. It is easy to install and costs about $29.95. The second software I found is at www.larsonmath.com. The software is online and right now you can sign up for a free trial. It can be tailored to fit middle school algebra or prealgebra. It has a range of activities including all the problems you mentioned above and lots more.
I hope I was able to help. If those don’t work there are plenty of more software programs available online. Good Luck!

Please send me an email — and if you don’t reply, please send a reminder. I have some programs at home that are decent, but am on the computer in between classes right now so can’t access them.

OK, I finally broke the mental block and turned on the home computer.

I have here:

A. An unopened package (OK, I’m a packrat) of “MathPro”, designed to accompany Beginning Algebra by Tobey-Slater. ISBN 0-13-400094-3 No publisher’s name on the package but with luck the ISBN will find it for you.
This is an outdated version (around 1995, I think) but look and see if you can find a newer update.

I liked this one VERY much in our math lab because you didn’t just click on a box, you had to actually DO the algebra and type in an answer. It’s also nice and step-by-step.You still need to teach of course, but this is a fine backup.

This is a single-user version — once you have done a test and passed a section that’s it, youy can’t do it over. I don’t know if the more modern versions will have that limitation.

B. The Princeton Review Math Library, with 6 CD’s, Math Review, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Also barely used, although my daughter did use the calculus for a while and said it’s OK. Bought on sale at Staples for $25., so if you can get it that cheap it may be worth a try.
