What are the design principles behind GeoGebra Math Practice?
We designed GeoGebra Math Practice to…
- Provide fast and accurate feedback, designed by teachers who actually know how to best help and guide students.
- Provide a smooth online interface for doing step-by-step math. Based on academic research, we actually know it to be faster and easier to use than paper and pencil, with more effective learning outcomes.
- Put the focus on algebraic reasoning by scaffolding arithmetic and visualizing how equivalency transformations “modify” mathematical expressions.
- Provide a space for students to explore different solution pathways, and to solve problems in many different ways.
- Provide clarity whether what you are trying is working, to limit distracting and demotivating mistakes.
