Product Overview
All-in-One Math Homework Help
Hotmath enhances learning in mathematics by helping students complete their required homework successfully, through step-by-step problem solutions, online math video lessons, live online math tutoring, and additional math resources. Students use Hotmath.com to get help with tough problems, to check their work, and to prepare for quizzes and tests. Teachers use Hotmath.com in class, as well as recommending it to students for homework. In contrast with other math Web sites, Hotmath.com appeals to students because it provides help with their specific, required homework problems.
Step-by-Step Problem Solutions
Step-by-step problem solutions cover the odd-numbered homework problems in most math textbooks. When a student goes to Hotmath.com, she selects her textbook, page number and problem number, and instantly begins a tutorial session for that specific problem. Clicking through the solution one step at a time, with a hint before each step, she can see the solution process at her own pace. Studies show that these explanations give students a better understanding of the material, helping them solve the remaining even-numbered problems.
Online Math Video Lessons
Online video lessons are short movies that provide instruction on important math topics. The first video collection offers hundreds of selections reviewing concepts in pre-algebra, algebra and geometry, and the other covers advanced math courses including precalculus, college algebra and calculus. The videos are accessible from a step-by-step solution or from the videos menu, and feature math professors from higher education institutions.
Live Online Math Tutoring
Live online math tutoring, branded as Live Math Help, connects students instantly with professional math tutors, who offer help on topics ranging from pre-algebra to calculus. For questions on homework, or help when studying, students can click the "Ask-a-Tutor" button to discuss the problem with a math tutor. Communication takes place online through an interactive whiteboard where visual aids such as drawings, graphs and mathematical steps can be displayed.
Hotmath Tutoring Plus
Hotmath Tutoring Plus refers to school subscriptions for a combination of step-by-step solutions, video lessons and live online math tutoring. Hotmath Tutoring Plus cuts the cost for schools dramatically, by linking to a live math tutor only after a student has first reviewed the problem solutions and review lessons. This enables schools to stretch their funding, while providing students with an improved level of support. Schools can use Hotmath Tutoring Plus to assist students in after school programs, remediation classes, and credit recovery programs.
Additional Math Resources
The company also provides free practice tests, math workbooks, graphing calculator tutorials, and math games to ensure all students improve their academic performance in mathematics.
