Algebrator Review

Part of this module has required us to review an educational application.  As a student, I can remember struggling with math and Algebra in particular.  This program allows students to type in a problem and the program spits out answer step by step to help students understand the full process of the problem.  This could help any student, not just those with disabilities.  It focuses on process over product.
According to SuperKids software review, its educational and ease of use both get a 4/5 (very good) and students review it with a 3/5 (good).














This product would be best for students who have already learned material but need a review as some information can be cryptic at times.
