Key Features

gMaths is a learning and revision software designed to help you build a good foundation in secondary level mathematics and develop your knowledge of a broad range of core topics. Each section presents a concise, illustrated explanation of a particular mathematical concept, followed by fully worked examples and a set of related questions with step-by-step solutions. Built-in calculation features enable you to practise a particular style of question with values automatically suggested by the software or typed into the question text.

The gMaths learning style encourages you to review the topics to further your understanding of the theory, before proceeding to practical activities that enhance your problem-solving skills. For exam preparation and good practice, it is recommended to try each question on paper and compare your answer with the solution provided by the software.

Variable-Input Questions

Each topic contains one or more variable-input questions that change each time they are displayed, which means you can repeat the same style of question with a different calculation each time. Specific values can also be typed into the changing parts of the question and gMaths will calculate a new step-by-step solution based on the input, complete with graphs and diagrams.
