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.{{citation|title = Multimedia for Learning|author = Stephen M. Alessi, Stanley R. Trollip|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=mmruAAAAMAAJ|isbn = 978-0-205-27691-2|year = 2001|publisher = Allyn and Bacon}} 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.
