New Algebra Software Shows Visual Learners a Different Way to ThinkAlgebra Vision is a new software program that helps visual learners see algebra in a tangible light by letting them move expressions around and apply theorems one at a time. Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) July 10, 2008 -- Algebra Vision is a new software program that helps students learn, by providing an environment where they can play with algebra. It lets them experiment with equations, using a whole toolbox of theorems, without the tedium of doing so by hand, and lets them isolate variables by dragging numbers to the other side of the equals sign. It is a learning aid both at home and in the classroom.  Algebra Vision
Algebra Vision is only distributed online, and is currently being used in tutoring centers, schools, and homes across the world. It runs on Windows XP/Vista/Mac OSX and costs $19.99(US). Florida schoolteacher Erika Jarvi says, "I really love (...) that Algebra Vision is available for students as a tool. (...I)t's a great piece of software to show the kids a different way of solving certain topics in algebra. Moving around the pieces of the equation, with the positive/negative sign assigned to the number, is a great way to make sure the kids get the sign right."
