Mastem: A Mathematics Tutoring Multi-Agent System.

The results of IDEB 2009 indicate the elementary students are failing mathematics exams. It is well known Intelligent Tutoring Systems could of be assistance in such cases because they are always available and resourceful. However, tutor systems need to be autonomous, flexible and adaptable. We claim that agent orientation has the natural paradigm for the development of such systems. The objective of this work is to propose the design and implementation of an educational software, called Mastem, to aid the teaching of mathematics targeted to students of 5th and 6th grades. This tutor system assists the students, adapts itself to the student's difficulties by identifying errors and presents tips/examples. We have successfully used the Tropos methodology and JADE frameworks to develop this software.
