Parameters of the program
Abstract. EMMentor_Algebra_Inequalities_short is a new generation interactive training program that offers a large number of math problems, a variety of appropriate techniques to solve problems and a unique system of performance analysis with methodical feedback. Students at all levels can practice at their own pace, review their own work, monitor their weaknesses and achievements, and get methodical recommendations for building missing math knowledge and skills.Considered are solutions of algebraic inequalities. The program includes 11667 math problems of 11 levels of complexity, from basic to advanced. For each math problem, EMMentor offers a set of methodical tasks to be discharged at each step of problem solution. Your work will be throughly analysed with respect to multiple parameters. You can review the distributions of your errors throughout the solution steps, over formulas and other math concepts, over topics, etc. Based on this joint error distribution, EMMentor provides an optimal set of tasks for error correction. In addition, EMMentor offers a number of test authoring options that automate creation of math tests, quizzes, homeworks and exams of varied complexity and enable automatic generation of a number of variants around each test. The tests with or without the solutions can be printed out or stored in a file and re-used. Dozens of variant tests are ready for students to review and reinforce their math skills. Each definition, rule etc can be instantly translated to German or another available language. System Requirements: Pentium 2 or higher 64 MB RAM Windows 98 or higher Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher Plug-in MathPlayer (downloadable from here) Program's detail

EMTEACHLINE MATHEMATICS SOFTWARE - YOUR PERSONAL MATH TEACHER
Press release ABSTRACT. EMTeachline Software has released a PC-based interactive mathematics software brand EMMentor that tutors in solving math problems. This encyclopedic software contains hundreds thousands of fully explained step by step solutions to math problems from basic to advanced and thousands of related definitions, rules, formulas and theorems. Based on a unique teaching technology, EMMentor controls, analyses and grades your performance, detects gaps in your theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills, and generates an optimal set of tasks to close the revealed gaps. This software helps kids grasp math concepts and build problem solving skills much more effectively than any classroom teacher. For teachers and parents, EMMentor offers a comprehensive objective analysis of children's performance, with tables and plots, and methodical recommendations for error correction. Easy-to-use authoring options automate development of math tests and homeworks. The software is designed for mathematics self-study. Provides an ideal help for math teachers. Suitable for elementary, middle and high school use. 1. SOFTWARE OVERVIEW The EMTeachline Interactive Mathematics Software EMMentor provides kids and teens with the chance to build outstanding problem-solving skills in math without any external help. Based on a brand-new teaching technology, this highly interactive software will help you much more effectively than any classroom teacher. EMMentor includes a set of original interactive training techniques and a unique system of performance analysis with methodical feedbacks. Each technique consists of a set of questions asked at each step of task performance and a system of multiple choice answers with hints. Based on an analysis of your answers, the software detects gaps in your theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills and summarises your errors. To correct errors and develop missing skills, EMMentor offers an optimal set of exercises. The error analysis is made for a particular task performance, as well as for a number of tasks performed during the selected period of time. EMMentor shows, in tables and on plots, how many errors were made and how many hints were used at each step of solution within one technique, the distributions of errors and hints throughout the techniques, over formulas and other math categories, the total number of errors per topic, etc. The concluding methodical recommendations are based on an objective analysis of these joint error distributions. Any teacher or tutor will find this function to be extremely useful. As a multilingual tutoring program, EMMentor offers a way for children to learn math lexicon in a foreign language. Translation of any text to German or another available language is easily obtained by double-clicking on it. Those kids who study not in a native language will find this option invaluable. Covered subject areas are arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry and hyperbolic trigonometry. All math problems are graded in 11 complexity classes from basic to advanced and provided with fully explained step by step solutions. Comprehensive tutoring material is provided for each solution step. The available test authoring options automate development of tests, quizzes, homeworks and exams. All developed materials can be printed out or stored in a file and re-used. 2. SKILLS COVERED Arithmetic and Pre-Algebra: Operations: multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Fractions, powers. Numeric expressions: estimation, equivalencies, problem-solving. Solving arithmetic problems using algebraic formulas. Algebra: Polynomial and fractional rational expressions: transformation, simplification, evaluation. Solution of linear, quadratic, cubic, biquadratic, reciprocal and fractional algebraic equations and inequalities. Proofs of algebraic identities.
