QuadEquations can generate thousands of quadratic equations for drills and approves the skills of one student master in solving quadratic equations.

Teaches the solution of quadratic equations by factorisation, by completing the squares and by formula. Special cases of equations involving perfect squares and difference of two squares, using special formulas are also included. It also shows how the formula is derived by using the completing the squares method. Emphasis is given to solution by factors which is important at this level.

Here are some key features of "QuadEquations":

· A step by step interactive guide is provided to help the student solve the equations if he has difficulties. If more than one method is available, the user is allowed to make a choice. The guide does not solve the equation for the student but guides him along, providing feedback on his working after each step. This helps the student to learn the method.
· A student can key in his own equation and let the guide help him solve it. This feature can help the student do his homework.
· It allows two players to compete with each other on one computer, reducing the number of computers required for a class by half. Each player can do the sums at his own pace.
· It prints two separate detailed reports, each showing the sums done by the individual player.

Requirements:

· 16.7MB HD

Limitations:

· The demo mode lets you test all the features of the software but it will automatically quit after a while.
