The Math Tutor 6.0

In mathematics, many students need to be reminded of the method for solving every problem. Professor, Abubakr math programs explain the methods for solving math problems in a tutorial fashion. He was able to program Microsoft Agents to be the tutors that walk you through the steps for solving math problems. After clicking on the "Tutorial" button of the program, a Microsoft Agent will explain the steps for solving a particular problem. Every time a user clicks on the "Tutorial" button, a new example is presented with the agent (tutor) explaining the steps for solving that specific problem. After seeing many examples, the user will be ready to click on the "Practice" button to start practicing the steps learned in the tutorial. staad

When practicing, the Microsoft Agent provides continuous feedback and the score is posted on the screen. When the users score drops below 70%, a flashing message is shown to encourage the user to continue practicing until the users score is improved.

The programs were tested with some students and the results were very impressive. The students were able to learn in a way that was otherwise not possible in a classroom setting. Some students reported that they had great fun learning how to solve algebra problems in a very short time.

The students are encouraged to use the programs in the following order:

1- Conversions

2- Signed Numbers

3- Simple Equations

4- Equations with Coefficients

5- Multiplication of Binomials

6- Factoring

7- Factoring Quadratic Equations

8- Completing the Square

9- Quadratic Formula
