speedcrunch is an excellent calculator for activities with the
interactive whiteboard because it reduces the time required in solving
the exercises. One of the problems highlighted is the absence of a key
to the greek pi. It seems trivial, but to type "pi" you must activate
the Windows keyboard on the screen of the board and the process reduces
the advantage of rapid use of the calculator. Also on the laptop
supplied with the interactive whiteboard is installed Windows 7 and
when you select any item from the View menu, the program stops and
closes. How to solve these problems?

Best regards, Aldo Fasano

Select the one you want to do what you want. Some are better at algebra and some better for geometry.

Hi Aldo, it's great to hear from people and learning their SpeedCrunch
use cases. I feel particularly excited when I hear from teachers using
it.

I'm not sure I understand what the real problem is. Are you talking
about a missing pi key on SpeedCrunch's keypad?

This is a well-known issue. It will be fixed on the next release.
