Equatio

We make documents, eText, and tests accessible for students with disabilities. The equation is beneficial in working on STEM classes, as it can capture equations and insert them into documents in an accessible format.

• Equation screen capture.
• Equation embedding.

• I'm not the person who made the final purchasing decision, but I was the person pushing for the purchase from the beginning.

I am a trainer, so I use Equation when I'm demonstrating how to use it to both staff and students. Depending on the audience, I will focus on either the science or math aspects. I always start with the basics of entering data/equations, then move on to the mobile capabilities and the math space area.

• Being able to use a phone to transpose class notes into a Google Doc.
• It uses a phone to take a picture of written math and turn it into editable text.
• The ease of writing math on a Chromebook.

• I do not have access to these statistics.
• I know that many students find it useful.

Equatio allows me to create visuals to go along math the math I’m doing in a very easy way. I love the ai feature and it has helped me teach fractions in a variety of ways. I’ve used it for basic fraction review, complaint fraction, fraction equivalents and adding and subtracting fractions.

• Math workspace
• Equatio Editor
• Math to
• speech

• Saved me lots of time looking for what I ultimately was able to create myself with Equatio
• Mathspace is an invaluable. I wish We could assign things to the students and have them work and then send the assignment back to us. Right now we can only assign things to them.
• Being able to talk to write equations is also a huge timesaver.

With our students using Chromebooks, it was very difficult for them to be able to digitally input math and science characters. Equatio provides a simple interface where they have multiple options on how to input- written on device, written on mobile device, autofill, typing, etc. Once the interface loads, it is very intuitive. As well, it works with Google Forms which made it a lot more feasible for our math and science departments do to online quizzes. This became a key extension during the pandemic and has continued to be used since our return.

• Graphing
• Math input
• Science characters

• Reduced cost on printing
• Increased ability to go paperless

Equatio is used mostly to create exams by the curriculum math coaches. Some students use it to respond, but not many.

• Math Space
• Shapes
• Fractions

• Very expensive
• Not used heavily
• Great during Covid but not used heavily now
