Abstract: This study proposes a system that helps learners acquire the necessary skills for transforming mathematical expressions. Transforming mathematical expressions requires learners to have knowledge of the individual parts of the transformation process, such as relevant formulae or theorems. Learners are likely to successfully apply transformations on a trial-and-error basis because mathematical expressions can be transformed into a number of different forms. The objective of this study is therefore to propose a system that can help learners with the study of transformations and both teachers and learners scrutinize and analyze the behaviors of learners based on their study logs stored in ...
