Abstract
The paper investigates the possibility of getting the answer and solution of arithmetic and algebra tasks from outside pieces of software when the intended solution environment is paper and pencil or some teacher-controlled software system. We consider spreadsheets, lightweight drill environments, programs with step by step dialog and “algebra calculators”. For spreadsheets the paper describes several cases of mathematically incorrect calculations. For drill environments we ascertain that they do not create a major risk of cheating. However, “algebra calculators” provide answers and solution steps for most of the common elementary algebra task types (usually for a licence fee). The conclusion is that addition of detailed solutions to computer algebra systems does not change the situation with homework cheating substantially.
