PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) indicated that large numbers of 15-year-old students struggle to master basic numeracy skills in UNICEF-supported countries. In the majority of these countries, more than half of the students — that’s about 1.3 billion students — fail to reach the minimum level of performance in mathematics.
Because of its inescapable practical applications, math is taught in every level of our education system, starting from elementary schools to university levels. And whether you are an amateur or an expert in math, everyone needs assistance in solving math problems from time to time. So, in the absence of a helpful source of assistance (a teacher or a friend), we can ask the ubiquitous Internet to help us, or we can use the guide books found in the book stores. We can also use a new math-solving application, called MalMath.
Launched on May 5, 2015, MalMath is an android application that can solve math problems with step by step solutions and provide graphic analysis. The app is quite simple to use: just type in a math problem, press the “solve” or “click” button. And, MalMath will present the solution, including the following helpful features.
Step by step description
This is the main feature of MalMath. For each problem that is solved, the steps of the solution are provided for the user. However, knowing that some users can’t understand faster than others, Malmath provides additional sub-steps. Even the sub-steps may contain other steps, until the most detailed explanation that a user may need.
Highlights
One of the unique features of MalMath is highlighting the part of the expression that was changed from the previous step. This provides an intuitive way to understand steps without having to read the description or analyse the whole expression. In addition, users can enable animations, which means that the problem will be solved each step at a time, using highlights to make it easier for the user to follow the solving process.
Problem generator
There are students who have already learnt the basics of math and want more exercises to challenge their understanding. “Problem generator” is one the most helpful features for those students.
Problems are generated from various fields: Algebra, Trigonometry, Limits, Differentiations and Integrals. Moreover, there are three difficulty types to choose from: Easy, Medium and Advanced.
Graph analysis
In MalMath, you can plot functions and it will draw the function or fill the area (depending on the problem). Also, multiple functions are supported, so you can plot two functions at the same time, and compare their graphs. In addition, MalMath will also make the analysis of the graphs. This means that it will show you a table with points from domain to inflexion intervals.
Languages
Math terminology is very difficult to understand even for native people who don’t have a math background. It is one of the main issues for students who do not have English as their native language, especially those who are in primary and high school levels. Therefore, MalMath is trying to build a system that will support many languages. Currently, MalMath supports English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Turkish, Albanian, Croatian, Arabic, Portuguese, Azerbaijani, Persian, Russian and Japanese.
Similar apps exist in the Android app market that offers the same services as MalMath. However, MalMath plans to succeed over other products by using geographical strategy to growth and offering an appealing and efficient way to study math. MalMath is free, and can be used offline, which means it will appeal to high school students, especially low-income students, who cannot afford expensive study guides or apps.
MalMath’s main mission is to provide students with detailed solutions for math problems in such a manner that they can understand the solving process. Its main objective is not to solve every math problem but to help students understand the solving process.
Whether you are a student, thriving to improve your math skills, or a parent, trying to help your kid with homework, MalMath is here to help. Try it out:
