DragginMath is a new way to teach, learn, and do algebra. This app converts equations into interactive pictures. Get serious about math: turn equations into playthings! Yes, it's fun, but this is definitely not a toy. See the internal structure of equations. Then commute, associate, distribute, factor, simplify, and solve by dragging math under your fingertips. This is real algebra, not something that sort of looks like it. Not a function-graphing app. Not restricted to a few limited examples or prepared problem sets. This app can do an astonishing amount of symbolic math, but it is aimed at the algebraic novice. Do you or your students need help understanding the order of operations? Unsure what the various algebraic properties are or how to use them? Is solving an equation just some arcane mystery? DragginMath lets you see and experiment with symbolic math concepts. You still have to direct the work yourself, but without burning through erasers or reams of paper, and without needing someone to check your work. DragginMath is not curriculum. It is a tool, and it is curriculum-independent. If your textbook has expressions and equations in it, DragginMath can help you teach it, or learn it. You might even enjoy doing it. Are you a teacher? Create animated lessons just by using the app as you normally would. Add annotations and homework problems, then email them to your class within the app. Students watch your lessons, do their homework, and email it back to you within the app. Returned homework is formatted for easy management.
Periodic Table Buddy

Periodic Table Buddy is a chemistry learning app built around the periodic table, element facts, memory practice, quizzes, and visual explanations. Explore all 118 elements in an interactive table, then open rich element details with properties, common uses, chemistry facts, isotope notes, electron shell visuals, and reference links. Search by element name, symbol, or atomic number, and filter by category when you want to focus on a specific family of elements. The app is designed for students, teachers, tutors, and curious learners who want chemistry to feel easier to remember. Key features: Interactive periodic table with all 118 elements Element detail pages with properties, facts, uses, images, and reference links Flashcards for element recall practice Quizzes for testing chemistry knowledge Mnemonics and comic strips for remembering groups and periods Element comparison tools Browse mode for quick lookup Virtual lab simulations for simple reaction learning Local progress tracking without accounts, ads, analytics, subscriptions, or in-app purchases Periodic Table Buddy is educational software. Lab simulations and reaction notes are intended for learning and should not be used as real laboratory safety instructions. What's New: Initial release.
