 1. Math Media: Advanced Mathematics is an educational program that is designed to teach students learning, trigonometry, college algebra, and pre-calculus. The appropriate grade level for this program would be high school to college students.  2. The program is a combination of tutorial and problem solving.  3. I would be able this program on a weekly basis to teach the students a lesson instead of lecturing. I could use this program for most likely sophomores to seniors in high school.  4. The strengths of the program are that most students can use it with minimal help from the teacher. Another strength is that the program offers a quick clear response to students’ actions. A weakness is that it does not offer any math games which might intrigue students more.  5. The program is expensive, $349, if a teacher get the bundle of trigonometry, college algebra, and pre-calculus. It can be bought from mathmedia.com, specifically []. Many other math subjects can also be bought from this company. The system requirements are: It is only available on windows,

 1. Study Works Mathematics Deluxe allows students to do many different math problems in a variety of ways. This program can be from pre algebra to calculus students.  2. This program is a combination of tutorial, instructional game, and problem solving.  3. Students could use this program at home to practice for a test, check their homework using the equation solver, or use it to graph a function.  4. Some strengths of the program are that is has a graphing calculator on it, an equation solver, and it offers instructional games. A weakness is that students may just plug an equation into the equation solver to get the answer instead of doing the math their selves.  5. It can be bought from amazon.com for about $24.00.
