  133. ALGEBRA WORKSHEET GENERATOR
  134.  
  135.      Most software today is written with the student in mind.  The ALGEBRA 
  136.      WORKSHEET GENERATOR has been written with the teacher in mind.  As 
  137.      teachers in today's schools we now have more heterogeneous grouping 
  138.      with multiple levels of student ability.  This places an extra burden 
  139.      on us, especially when it comes to prepararing materials for each 
  140.      of these levels.  The ALGEBRA WORKSHEET GENERATOR has been designed  
  141.      to make these preparations easier.
  142.  
  143.      The ALGEBRA WORKSHEET GENERATOR will generate and print worksheets that are 
  144.      used to practice and reinforce basic equation solving skills.  From the 
  145.      Main Menu, you will have a choice of three types of equations:
  146.  
  147.  
  148.      For each of these choices, you have an option as to which roots you 
  149.      wish to obtain
  150.

  162.      Once you have made a choice of which types of equations  you need , set 
  163.      the level of difficulty.  This may be done selecting a range usually 
  164.      between 1 and 5 according to the following chart:

  184.      In version 1.1 we have incorporated a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you 
  185.      get) window that shows a sample problem to be printed, and a counter
  186.      showing the number of problems generated. Some catchy melodies signal the 
  187.      end of the generation cycle and the need to print out each worksheet.

  197.      In this manner you may personalize your instruction by generating
  198.      worksheets that are adapted to each student's mathematical maturity.  You
  199.      may generate anywhere from 2 to 100 exercises.  I recommend shorter work-
  200.      sheets for beginning students (8 or 10 exercises) and longer ones (12 - ?) 
  201.      for middle level and advanced students.
  202.  
  203.      Each worksheet and its answer key is identified by a three-digit random 
  204.      number, this allows the separation of the answer key if need be.
  205.  
  206.      The ALGEBRA WORKSHEET GENERATOR uses a randomizing process to generate 
  207.      different exercises for each worksheet.  This randomizing process depends 
  208.      on the computer's internal time clock.  If your computer does not have 
  209.      a battery-operated internal clock, you will need to enter the time 
  210.      on your computer before each session with ALGEBRA WORKSHEET GENERATOR.
