Computer-based mathematics education (CBME) is an approach to teaching mathematics that emphasizes the use of computers and mathematical software.

Computers in math education

Computers are used in education in a number of ways, such as interactive tutorials, hypermedia, simulations and educational games. Tutorials are types of software that present information, check learning by question/answer method, judge responses, and provide feedback. Educational games are more like simulations and are used from the elementary to college level. E learning systems can deliver math lessons and exercises and manage homework assignments.
