Kalgebra

Subject Area: Math, Numeracy

Recommended Grade Levels: 1-8

KAlgebra is a calculator with symbolic and analysis features that lets you plot 2D and 3D functions as well as to easily calculate mathematical expressions.

Ontario Elementary Secondary Curriculum Expectations for Mathematics (2005)

Students can use calculators or computers to perform operations, make graphs, and organize and display data that are lengthier and more complex than those that might be addressed using only pencil-and-paper. Students can also use calculators and computers in various ways to investigate number and graphing patterns, geometric relationships, and different representations; to simulate situations; and to extend problem solving. When students use calculators and computers in mathematics, they need to know when it is appropriate to apply their mental computation, reasoning, and estimation skills to predict and check answers. The computer and the calculator should be seen as important problem-solving tools to be used for many purposes. Computers and calculators are tools of mathematicians, and students should be given opportunities to select and use the particular applications that may be helpful to them as they search for their own solutions to problems.

How can Kalgebra help?

Kalgebra is a simple, easy-to-use graphing tools that both teachers and students can use for their graphing needs. With KmPlot, teachers can visually demonstrate different types of functions and allow students to experiment with various parameters and find important values such as the maximum and minimum.
