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.

• 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.

We are an assistive technology lending library. We offer Equatio as an option to complete math electronically. This is particularly useful for students with physical disabilities or poor fine motor skills. We use Equatio as a digital option to make math more accessible. We also include the extension in many professional developments that we offer.

• Reading math problems.
• Voice typing math problems.
• Manipulatives/geometric figures available.

• We have not had any students or team choose Equatio to meet their math needs.

I am the only person in my organization who uses it to my knowledge. I use it to create Google Forms with math equations to assess my students' learning. Without it, writing math equations would be much more difficult because I would have to search or create a picture of one.

• Embedding math equations into Google Forms.

• I have never paid for Equatio.
