Y World

Student-directed math app that provides a positive feedback loop to improve learning.

Overview

In Y = World, students learn in two ways. First, they learn by constructing equations, piece by piece. As they do so, they see the graph changing based on their actions. Second, they learn by playing with the numbers in their equations. By sliding the Constant Slider for slope left and right and seeing the graph change in real-time, students immediately make the connection between the equations, and the effect it is having on the graph. This positive feedback loop leads students down the path of understanding, connecting what they already know intuitively and can observe visually to what they are learning symbolically.
