I am working on that. See http://sagenb.com/triBC I plan to implement an interactive algebra textbook. My question is say you were teaching factoring trinomials of the BC form. How would you have your students practice on the computer? On 3/31/07, Jurgis Pralgauskis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

For your off topic are you saying that you want some interactive program that shows all the steps for solving some problem and then guides the student through the steps? On 3/31/07, Jurgis Pralgauskis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > there's aproject, which intends to join many math test

For SAGE you would want to implement the management software, but you would want to include the tests that you would use since test information needs to be kept secret. On 3/28/07, Nikos Apostolakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Timothy Clemans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > You could cre

I am working on computerizing the algebra textbook I am using. At some point I'll try make my stuff interactive using AJAX. Yesterday I made a notebook app that generates solution examples that look almost exactly like the ones in the book for factoring the x^2 + Bx + C form. http://www.sagenb.com

By strange coincidence, I am familiar with SAGE, MAPLE TA, and math validation and placement (I'm one of only two at my school who gets some summer pay for doing this)! I think this would be great, but significant work (obviously) to get set up. My recommendation, in case someone wants to do this
