[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mathspace system is so busted. I hate it so much. The way it doesn't actually really teach and just makes kids mad is just wrong. It's almost impossible to get questions right, because they demand everything be exact. Teachers should not be assigning or using mathspace, it is bleh.[/quote]

Is math not an exact discipline? That’s kind of a flimsy argument, answers should be exact. -3^2 is different than (-3)^2. 2/4 is not a simplified answer.

It makes kids mad because for years they’ve been able to put down gibberish trash and get credit, and now they can’t. It’s a good thing!

There are plenty of ways to use it to learn. There are full text lessons with each topic. The system can show you the next step. You can select to “redo” missed problems to try them again. You can ask for a hint. You can chat the program and ask specific questions.

If you are just using it to type in the final answer and not taking advantage of all the other stuff, then I can see how it is frustrating, but that’s not how it’s intended to work.[/quote]
