SOLUTION GENERATORS – All Math Courses

At first glance, you may feel these solution generators just provide students with an opportunity to ―cheat‖ on homework. If these sites are offered to students with a message such as…. ―short- term gain = long-term loss‖…, students will understand that these sites have two purposes: checking …. or seeing how to proceed if they reach an impasse. We all know that students cannot achieve in math without having done and understood their homework. http://www.webmath.com Solves basic math to calculus problems http://www.quickmath.com/ EQUATION SOLVER - Enter any equation, from algebra to calculus, and Quick Math will solve it for you for free.
