Making Math Digital
EquatIO is a STEM tool that allows students to delve into the world of digital and collaborative math and science.
Built on Universal Design for Learning principles, EquatIO supports a wide range of learning styles and preferences meaning that it enables students with varying needs to practice and conceptualize core math concepts at their own pace. Through its various inputs, students can engage with math content and express themselves in the way that best suits their unique needs – through written work, visualizations, audio, and more. EquatIO understands what you’re typing or handwriting, instantly turning your expressions into clear, accurate on-screen formulas. Also, EquatIO is free for K-12 teachers.
