Drills also serve to build problem-solving skills. The problems which the system generates in the Drill section of a Basic Block correspond to the subject matter covered in the Concepts and Interactive Examples sections of the Basic Block. The system accepts answers to the problems as input from the student. The student may check his or her answer and if it is incorrect, may give and check a new answer an unlimited number of times. The student also has the opportunity to view the correct answer, and in the case of more difficult problems, to obtain a full solution.
Tests contain problems associated with the different chapters and topics of the product.
When the test is finished, the system generates a report and provides the correct answers and solutions, if desired. It is worthwhile to note that this teaching methodology is particularly conducive to the future expansion of existing products. Products can be easily upgraded by adding new Basic Blocks or Problems or by updating existing ones. This makes MathAid products very flexible and easily adjustable to the user's needs. Inc.
