StudyWorks Mathematics 3.0

This combination math resource and tutorial suffers from confusing navigation and dry presentation. The information is presented via text and illustrations, which makes the whole experience quite dry. Subjects covered include pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and business math. Quizzes measure concept understanding and application. The program is searchable by keyword, making it useful as a homework resource, but the absence of enjoyable sounds, graphics and activities limit the program's value as a tutorial. Other downsides include a finicky back tracking button and content too difficult for most seventh and eight graders. A deluxe version is available which comes with a book of math exercises.
