iSolveIt: MathSquared is a prototype series of grid-based puzzles using basic math operations that help learners develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies. Puzzles have different levels of challenge and include embedded support for solving, such as a Scratch Pad for recording information that supports problem solving and the option for immediate feedback on your progress. Learners can also choose from different levels of puzzle challenge. This app was developed to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). iSolveIt is being developed as a mobile learning environment to support the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills, essential competencies for algebra and mathematics in general.
