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). |
