iPhone iPad

Work on your algebra skills with this educational app.

All the algebra you could possibly want. Algebra Touch offers a huge range of topics concerning algebra. It starts with the basics (simplification) but soon gets more complicated. You can even create and solve your own algebraic problems in the application, too!

First comes the mini-lesson, then you have a go. Usefully, for each area, Algebra Touch provides iOS device owners with an example, which is then solved on-screen (ghost-like). From here, a series of problems are presented for iOS device users to take on. Are you -- or your students -- up to the challenge?

Algebra has never been so much fun! All of this means algebra really has never been so much fun. Don't get me wrong: we're still dealing with math here, and the subject hasn't been jazzed up too much. But by offering students a user interface (UI) which allows them to reach out and touch aspects of an equation, Algebra Touch makes the subject a lot more accessible.
