Algebra 101 - Review #9

Grade Level: Late Middle School to early High School

Cost: .99

Program Functionality: A
The program never crashed or had any malfunctions and it is very simplistic with the ease of use.

Purpose: B
This is a drilling excercise program. This will just give you problems and you can check to see if you are correct or not.

Overall Educational Value: C+. If there was some way for the app to help you break down the steps in the problem that would be nice. Perhaps some functionality to identify where you went wrong would help as well. It might be nice to combine with some videos connected via youtube that show a teacher demonstrated the techniques.

Cost: $0.99

Recommendation:
Maybe for personal use. If you need an app that will give you random problems to practice than this is your app.

We think schools can find other means to practice that would be just as valuable. Using this app and device in a school setting doesn't add enough value to justify cost of the device and app.
