Project Description

The project aims to foster students' mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills with an online self-tutoring sytem that consists of 3 key components:

• Show students how to break a difficult mathematical problem into a set of easier manageable sub-problems;
• Make mathematical reasoning step-by-step and transparent; and
• Provide the reference of key concepts through html links.
