GestureMath

##Gesture-based algebra for the iPad.

####Interviews and observations reveal 2 main cognitive barriers that algebra learners face:

  • Uncertainty about which parts of an equation can be manipulated, and how.
  • Anxiety about making a mistake, and proceeding down a "wrong path" that won't lead to a solution.

####GestureMath reduces these barrriers by providing an intuitive, touch-based interface for performing algebraic operations on equations.

================================

  • First, select part of the equation to interact with.
  • Dynamic targets will appear to indicate what operations you can perform with the selected term(s).

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6

  • If you make a mistake, use the scrolling history window at the top of the screen to roll back to any previous step of the equation.

  • Although GestureMath was designed with basic algebra learners in mind, it can also support more advanced equations.
