The APLUSIX-Editor is a microworld dedicated to the learning of algebra. First it includes an advanced editor that allows the student to build easily algebraic expressions. Second it reifies the student's reasoning as a linear development of equivalent steps or as a tree. Third it verifies the equivalence between the different steps during student's calculations, and gives indications about the progression of the reasoning. The first three parts of the paper present the syntactical aspect, the semantic aspect and the strategic aspect of the APLUSIX-Editor. The last parts present experiments conducted with the APLUSIX-Editor.
