Technical Description of Equation Sensei: A Mobile-Assisted Learning Application in Mathematics

This study reported the development of Equation Sensei - a mobile-assisted learning application in mathematics. Equation Sensei allows students to input their own problems or to solve problems generated by the application. It is capable of providing step-by-step guide in solving linear equations. Hints are provided whenever a wrong step is encountered. However, hints concerning arithmetic and fraction errors are not detailed in the software. The software has the capability of detecting different solution sets in any given linear equation problem. It collects log activities such as time spent usage, hints used, posted problems, problems solved, and problems unsolved. Future research directions are also presented.
