ConnSENSE-Review: Virtual Pencil

Link: ConnSENSEReview Virtual Pencil.

Virtual Pencil-Arithmetic is a Windows based software program that enables individuals to solve math problems in all four operations on the computer, including working with fractions and decimals. This type of program is a must for students or adults who have difficulty writing and/or aligning numbers for any reason, as well as individuals who are visually impaired.  Virtual Pencil displays the arithmetic problem vertically, the way it might be presented on a math worksheet or a whiteboard.  The program has two modes, tutor mode and test mode; the tutor mode can be used as a teaching/learning support, the test mode can be used for independent and application work.
