Crowdsourcing homework help is cheaper than tutoring, but this app can lead to cheating and misinformation. The main problem with Slader Math Homework Answers is that it can easily be used as a tool to copy answers, so students will learn nothing but how to get access to answer keys in textbooks -- and get potentially wrong answers to other homework problems. As long as students are academically disciplined enough to use it to check their work, or look at the way a contributor arrived at their solution, then it could be an effective homework aid. But that's a big ask for time-pressured students, especially for those who are struggling enough with understanding a topic -- or with time management. There are some very good alternative homework help apps available, where tutors lead students through problems to learn as they assist them at arriving at the right answer. Most students will benefit more from seeking help on those than getting easy answers on this one.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
