School On Line

Today, schoolonline supports the teaching of the standard Algebra 1 curriculum. There are three interactive services for the algebra site - (1) an interactive lesson, (2) an interactive algebra reference engine, and (3) a service to investigate other algebra instruction sites. For the lessons, the student is presented with multiple choice problems, for each answer, the student is provided with feedback - if the wrong answer was selected, the student is provided with guidance on what he or she may have done wrong. The correct choice is rewarded with a congratulations and a detailed explanation on how to properly solve the problem. The schoolonline lessons can be performed by individual students or small work groups.

The algebra site also has a reference engine which the students can use while they solve the problems. The reference engine is a concise summary of the material written with some humor (at least I think so) and enthusiasm for the subject.

The algebra site has a service that allows students to investigate other Web Sites that provide instructional and enrichment materials.

This Web Site contains word problems for students and teachers. The problems are classified into grade levels from Grade 5 to Grade 12. THIS IS NOT A TEST, but a set of carefully selected problems which can help you improve your problem solving skills -if you try to carefully think about how you would solve each problem, and once you have found the solution, you make sure that you understand all parts of the solution. You can try any problem you like and if the problem is a little difficult you can get helpful hints by following the hints link.
