Abstract: A project is described involving the design of a web-based intelligent tutoring system for use in teaching complex problem-solving in mathematics for middle- and high-school students. A team of researchers and teachers from Texas A&M University and the South San Antonio Independent School District have developed a prototype of the complex problem-solving tutor for investigating the impact of promoting higher levels of real-world problem-solving skills through the delivery of a model-tracing tutor.
