The ALGEBRA WORKSHEET 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 WORKSHEET GENERATOR has been designed to make these preparations easier. The ALGEBRA WORKSHEET 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 1.1 we have incorporated a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) window that shows a sample problem to be printed, and a counter showing the number of problems generated. Some catchy melodies signal the end of the generation cycle and the need to print out each worksheet. - 3 - 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 WORKSHEET 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 WORKSHEET GENERATOR.
