Tilton Technology publishes expert-system powered math tutoring software that is able to work alongside the student step-by-step on randomly generated problems or any problem the student enters that is within the software's scope.
The software also offers a forum in which teachers and students can collaborate, using a WYSIWYG maths editor
to facilitate exchange of specific expressions.
First offered in 1987 for Macintosh and then PC desktop computers, the software has now been delivered as a Web application.
The new Web version includes a so-called "Mission-mode" in which students work unaided up a tree of Algebra skills, with new Missions becoming available as the student masters each mission.
The initial title covers the basics of Algebra and will soon be extended to cover the bulk of the conventional Algebra I curriculum.
