Jo napot, Kalló, and welcome to the list.

I think I saw something similair done with WIMS, a math content server.
But as for native programmes, I don't remember any.

As I get you (and Miguel), this could be a central use case:

The user (student) is presented a randomly created equation like:

	3x + 4 = 5x

Now he has to subtract 3x on both sides. Miguel's idea was to "drag" 
the "3x" term from left to right, switching its sign:

            + 4 = 5x ^
             ..[3x]../

I am a bit critical with this: You can't "move" terms, but what you do 
is identical operations on both sides. I prefer a balance model, here.

But in general, I like to support this idea.

Kind regards
Viszontlatasra.
