Flip-Chip Playground — This program allows you to manipulate Flip-Chips, demonstrate concepts, explore properties, and solve problems. It will have separate play areas for working on expressions, equations, factoring, etc. It is an alternative to using physical chips and will be useful for students, home-schooling, and classrooms. In class groups, the program can be shared with the teacher to help monitor students.
Flip-Chip Tutor — This program has all of the features of the Flip-Chip Playground but can also be used to record the steps of equations. The Tutor will check each step interactively and will inform the user of errors; it can also give hints when the user is lost. It will also be able to record steps entered by a teacher and then play back the steps for the students
