Math Tools

Below I've highlighted/copied some of the specific apps from Understood the Technotes blog which seem best.

"■ Equati0 (has free and premium features, premium subscription is $145/year for students. Speech to Text remains free.)

Easily create mathematical equations, formulas and quizzes. Intuitively type or handwrite, with no tricky math code to learn.

Until now, writing equations and math expressions on your computer has been slow and laborious.

EquatIO makes math digital, helping teachers and students at all levels create math expressions quickly and easily.

What's free vs what's premium?

https://www.texthelp.com/en-us/products/equatio/premium-features/

If you are new to EquatIO, welcome! For the first 30 days of your free subscription, you can try all of our premium features across EquatIO for Google, Windows, Mac and EquatIO mathspace at no charge.

After that time, you can upgrade to a paid subscription to keep those premium features, or you can continue with a free version of EquatIO, which gives you access to the following features across all platforms*:

  • Speech input
  • Handwriting recognition (2 per day)
  • Support for Math Writing Shortcuts
  • Static graphing
  • LaTeX input

* Additional free features are available within the specific platforms"

"Overview

Interact with mathematical expressions you find on Wikipedia or other webpages.

Graspable Math lets you turn static mathematical expressions into dynamic objects!

Use our full-size app at https://graspablemath.com/canvas or this sidebar extension. Both allow you to drag most static math expressions from Wikipedia or many other pages onto the canvas to make them interactive.

Our dynamic algebra notation is backed by research from Indiana University Bloomington and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Use this extension to open a sidebar that lets you work on any algebra on the page. After you drag and drop formulas into the sidebar or enter them directly, you can then interact with the terms to create algebraic derivations. Drag and drop from other pages than Wikipedia might or might not work. Contact us about adding support for your favorite page!"

"Overview of Math Tools

Math tools will Empower these students to arrive in class confidently. "

The Math Learning Center has 10 stand-alone Chrome apps for math manipulatives. These are virtual objects like number lines and blocks that kids can manipulate to understand math concepts.

Each of these apps opens in a separate Chrome window.

Another resource for manipulatives is the National Library of Math Manipulatives.

Wolfram Alpha is a powerful computation engine. Kids can type in math problems, definitions and equations. The tool will do the computation and give detailed answers in a new tab. For example, if kids type “calculate the area of a circle,” the tool will bring up a formula where they can input the radius and get an answer. The Pro version will show a step-by-step solution for the problem.

Search engines like Google can also compute answers and give formulas. But this tool does it without giving all the search results, which can be distracting.

Price: Free (Pro version for students is $4.95/month)
