QuadEquations software simplifies quadratic equation instruction and learning.
QuadEquations is a program designed to help both teachers and students in their understanding of quadratic equations. It is specifically tailored for students in Secondary Two and above (age 13 years onwards). With the help of this software, students will learn how to solve quadratic equations using three different methods: factorisation, completing the squares, and formula.
This program covers special cases of equations that involve perfect squares and difference of two squares. Moreover, it shows students how to derive the formula using the completing the squares method. It puts emphasis on solving equations by factoring, which is a vital skill at this level.
QuadEquations also has the capability to generate thousands of quadratic equations for drills to ensure that students master the necessary skills. Students can choose the equations they want to solve based on their preferred method or the level of difficulty. They can select from three levels of difficulty - easy, average, and challenging - which allows them to control the pace of their learning.
To ensure that students are solving equations correctly, QuadEquations also offers helpful guidance through the entire process. The software provides up to 200 different sums per session, giving students plenty of practice and opportunities to learn.
In terms of system requirements, QuadEquations runs on G3, G4 & G5 (Intel Macs under Rosetta) and needs only 5.4MB HD space and 26MB RAM. It also requires a screen resolution of 800 x 600 at 16 bits or better.
However, there are some limitations to the software. The types of sums available are limited due to the time limit, and the trial period ends after 30 sessions.
Overall, QuadEquations is a powerful tool for both students and teachers alike who are looking to improve their understanding and mastery of quadratic equations.
