For Students, Free Math allows you to complete your math homework on your computer. The first problem has been created for you, use the box to write an equation. When you want to modify it to solve your math problem click the "next step" button to copy your expression or equation and edit it on the next line to show your work. This tool is designed to take care of some of the busywork of math, which makes it easier to record all of your thinking without a bunch of manual copying.
Teachers can select a file for download of assignments.
Using Free Math with an LMS:
LMS products come with features for collecting documents from students and managing them in bulk. These features are often used for grading files like papers or presentations. These types of files must be examined individually for grading. One great advantage of Free Math is that all documents are graded together, with optimized actions for grading similar work.
FAQ:
Does Free Math solve math problems?
No, Free Math allows students to record their work, but does not solve problems automatically.
Where are the problems for Free Math?
Free Math is designed to work with any existing excercises from a book, worksheet or digital problem bank. Students copy problems into Free Math just as they would with a paper notebook.
Where is the answer key for grading?
There is no need to provide Free Math with an answer key. The grading page finds similar student answers on each problem, you only need to grade each final answer once and confirm that work was provided by each student to justify reaching their answer.
If students submit files for their assignments, how does the system prevent cheating?
In addition to comparing individual answers, Free Math also compares students overall documents for similarity. If two or more documents share a lot of work they will be flagged for you to review side by side.
