[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4) The program will not accept x = 4, it wants X=4.  It won't accept -3, it wants T=-3.  If the problem asks you to distribute 3(x+2), you have to write at least one midway step before writing the answer, so it won't allow you to go straight to 3x+6, you have to do 3(x)+3(2) first.  It's soooooo picky about how you answer problems, so kids are getting frustrated and not understanding why they did something wrong.[/quote]
This just brought up my temperature and I'm not even involved and was just browsing this forum! What a ridiculous dumbed down crutch. So the kids who can see things one step ahead have to fall in line and write everything out? Ridiculous...[/quote]

My DC just took a quiz on mathspace and said it was confusing and cost him points.  I believe this because DC just took a test and got a high A.  DC also usually says if he doesn't understand a topic.  He asked the teacher if he could just write the question and answers on paper because the program was confusing him and the teacher said no.  Students shouldn't have their grades affected by a glitchy program.  Im trying not to be "that parent," but Im not sure how long this will last.  [/quote]
