AADMLSS Practice: A Culturally Relevant Algebra Tutor

This paper presents an online web-based culturally relevant algebra tutor. It is designed for African American students to improve their mathematical skills. As a critical part of a culturally relevant tutor framework, AADMLSS (African-American Distributed Multiple Learning Styles System) focuses on practicing algebra, but can be adapted to other courses. The Algebra Problems Practice (APP) module is the practice environment where students can extract an algebra problem and practice solving it through interaction with a 3D virtual tutor. Practice on this system, tailored with familiar cultural elements, is expected to improve students´ ability and skills in mathematics.
