Topic: What is a good math problem generator?
Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 10 years ago #52,679
I want to keep my math skills sharp.
All of the ones I found on Google were worksheet generators.
I just want a website that generates a math problem based on a skill level you can imput.

Not exactly what I was looking for, Nexi.
Plus I only want a generator for one problem that offers a skill level for basic ones like in your worksheets up to calculus.
Even though I mostly just want pre-algebra and algebra.

@OPI have to use math as part of my daily life. Not exactly because on a few projects there are team players that do the math. I find that if I have been away from solving complex matrix math problems I quickly get rusty. Also tools like Math lab get in the way of keeping me fresh and ready for problems Math lab cannot solve.
So Catherine, because I do not know how far you have gone in school in math courses, try this to keep you math skills sharp.
If you stopped at Algebra Geometry and Trig? And or either, you can use the web to refresh with for example Trig and try the first course in Calculus Or if that seems to much trouble you can go back to Algebra and look up advanced Algebra and take the next level to increase your skills. First refresh what you used to do and then move up a notch to learn more.
I also recommend you find something that interests you that uses advanced math and study the applied math of that subject.
I now see after posting my reply you had replied with what you want. Give my suggestion a try for about one hour with Algebra you used to do in school. You can find test examples on the net.
Then move up to the next level and there are many and give one of them a try.

My highest level of math is algebra. Anything else is Latin to me.

> My highest level of math is algebra. Anything else is Latin to me.
Anon F back at you because I have to do it this way for the moment.
You mean the Algebra you learned in school. There is a whole world of Algebra. Lookup Algebra up on the web and discover the all you do not know about solving problems in Algebra. There is Matrix Algebra that can give you a dozen solutions and all of them are good viable if you have completed the problem correctly. However only one solution is useful in our world. Others may be useful in another universe. We will never know.
Engineers often have to use calculus to solve problems and one fun discovery was about a French guy Laplace who developed powerful Transforms and one popular use of Laplace is to turn a calculus problem into a much simpler Algebra problem and get the complex solution with just Algebra. So you have to learn the harder way first before you get to learn how to go back to Algebra for solutions.

I think he will learn more if he goes to the library (or perhaps he still has his algebra book) and a pad of paper. Doing it the old fashioned way step by step with instructions for the steps and a quick way to reference the rules of how to do the equations. I think that is a much better way. Worksheets are all to often similar to tests. He needs more than finding the right and wrong answers. He needs to learn the process. Process is everything. Even if you arrive at a wrong answer.

some people think that the method doesn't matter as long as they get the answer, and argue that they don't have to practice arithmetic when a calculator can do it
so getting someone else to do it is a valid method then
or giving the teacher a rim job

I just saw that they can generate algebra worksheets so it actually was something that could suffice.

My point is: Anyone can plug a problem into a calculator or work sheet configured so you can find a solution. When you use a shortcut like that and of course we all do. You have not learned anything about the process. The logical steps to solve problems.
There is so much more to Mathematics than finding the solution quickly.
> (with exception for multivariable calculus); I could only really learn by doing the problems.
Of course you need to learn by doing problems to find the solutions. Remember you did not get up to advanced Calculus without first understanding a mass of principles and learning all the rules and steps. Mathematics forces you and I, to learn how to think very logically and to solve problems using that skill. It also teaches one to be precise in thoughts.
It is one reason why I said before - arriving at the solution (which of course is desired) is not as important as understanding the process so you can eventually end up with the solution to the problem.
There are even times more often than not - In my work I will start a long process - For example Matrix Algebra, and yes Math Labs to can for many solve problems, except with huge limitations. So I do it first with Math Labs and then because I have ... Would take to much text to spell out why Math Labs often fails me - I end up with a yellow pad and do it by hand.
Along the way I realize I am going to end up with a final solution I can use and physics makes the solution worthless because materials to manufacture a part, have yet to be invented.
I could say wow what a waste of time. Instead by spending time going through the logical steps - I come out ahead even If I cannot use any of the many solutions - Because I come away feeling more logical.
Downside is I am no good explaining this in text.!
Calculators and cheat sheets can short cut the much more one gets from learning Math skills. Plug and play is necessary of course. How much do you learn when you just plug it in?
Topic by Cathy was:
> I want to keep my math skills sharp.
Work sheets and route solutions do end up with answers. Yet how has Cathy's skills increased? That is my point.
