ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR 3.1

by Richard Bierregaard

Copyright 1991-94











One of a series of programs to help busy teachers
individualize instruction at multiple levels, all
at the stroke of a few keys . . .

For IBM (R) and compatible computers

ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR

Most software today is written with the student in mind. The
ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR has been written with the teacher in
mind. As teachers in today's schools we now have more
heterogeneous grouping with multiple levels of student ability.
This places an extra burden on us, especially when it comes to
prepararing materials for each of these levels. The ALGEBRA
EQUATION GENERATOR has been designed to make these preparations
easier.

The ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR will generate and print worksheets
that are used to practice and reinforce basic equation solving
skills. From the Main Menu, you will have a choice of three types
of equations:

For each of these choices, you have an option as to which roots
you wish to obtain

ROOT OPTIONS
_________________________________________________________________

1. LINEAR 1. Whole 2. Integer 3. Fractional 4. Decimal

2. QUADRATIC 1. Whole 2. Integer 3. Fractional 4. Complex

3. SYSTEMS 1. Integer 2. Fractional 3. Decimal
__________________________________________________________________
Once you have made a choice of which types of equations you need,
set the level of difficulty. This may be done selecting a range
usually between 1 and 5 according to the following chart:

DIGITS
----------------------------------------------
BEGINNERS MEDIUM ADVANCED
----------------------------------------------
EQUATIONS:
LINEAR

Number 1 2 or 3 4 or 5

QUADRATICS

Number 1 2 or 3 4 or 5

SYSTEMS

Number 1 2 3


In version 3.1 we have incorporated a WYSIWYG (What you see is what
you get) window that shows a sample problem to be printed, a counter
showing the number of problems generated, the spacing between problems,
and the starting number for the exercises. A few notes signal the
end of the generation cycle and the need to print out each worksheet.


In this manner you may personalize your instruction by generating
worksheets that are adapted to each student's mathematical maturity.
You may generate anywhere from 2 to 100 exercises. I recommend
shorter work-sheets for beginning students (8 or 10 exercises) and
longer ones (12 - ?) for middle level and advanced students.


Each worksheet and its answer key is identified by a three-digit
random number, this allows the separation of the answer key if need be.


The ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR uses a randomizing process to generate
different exercises for each worksheet. This randomizing process depends
on the computer's internal time clock. If your computer does not have
a battery-operated internal clock, you will need to enter the time
on your computer before each session with ALGEBRA EQUATION GENERATOR.
