Algebra Concepts - Designed by Fred Ventura, Ph.D.
Mathematics for Grades 7-12
A Visual Approach to Introductory Algebra Concepts and Skills...

Algebra Concepts is a great tool for introducing students to many of the difficult concepts that are necessary for success in higher level math courses.

This unique program includes a special feature, the Algebra Tool Kit, where students graphically illustrate algebraic expressions, plot functions and perform operations with integers, monomials, binomials and polynomials. Students can complete learning activities online.

 
Algebra Tool Kit
Using the Algebra Tool Kit students can explore fundamental algebra concepts in a hands-on way. Algebra Tiles with values of positive and negative 1, x and x2, enable the students to create groups of tiles to represent binomials and polynomials.

By combining sets students see how algebraic expressions can be added, subtracted, multiplied or factored.

If a set of tiles is defined as a function it can be linked to a graph.

The online component for Algebra Concepts extends the learning activities into the home. Teachers can assign homework activities which are accessed online.

Using our proprietary internet software, once a student logs in, access is authorized and then the student proceeds to complete the homework assignment. When the assignment is completed, the student clicks on the submit button and instantly the work is checked and scored.

A report of the student's work is instantly emailed to the teacher and student (or parent).
