Yes. SpeedDrillMath was originally developed for use in the classroom where busy
teachers have little time for administering cumbersome, complicated software. The
same simple design that makes our product so easy for teachers to use will make it just as
easy for parents to bring the advantages of SpeedDrillMath to their home computer.
Yes. SpeedDrillMath is designed to build proficiency in basic mathematical
relationships using positive or negative, whole, real numbers.
No. SpeedDrillMath is designed to build proficiency in basic mathematical
relationships using positive or negative, whole, real numbers.
No. We believe that teachers and parents should teach math. They can do a far
better job of teaching than any computer. SpeedDrillMath is a tool that teachers and
parents can use to help students practice what they have learned. After all, the
only secret to becoming proficient in math is practice, practice, practice.
Yes. Teachers can design a template for each lesson in their course of
study. Then as students progress in their studies, the teacher can use the
appropriate template to reconfigure the type of problems that will be presented for the
student to solve. The same templates can be used year after year, and individual
templates can be modified to reflect changes in the teachers lesson plan.
Yes. Each student's activity is recorded in a log. The log records the student's
account name, the date and time they started working, the template (if any) used to
configure the problems that were presented, all configuration settings used to generated
the problems, each problem that was presented to the student, the student's response
to the problem, the program's evaluation of the student's response, and how long it
took the student to respond to each problem.
