Language is no longer a barrier to learning math. The app supports 22 languages including 12 Indian languages like Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani, Marathi, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu apart from international languages like German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Russian.
Good Grapher is a scientific graphing calculator for Mac. It will become a reliable assistant for you from elementary school to university and work. Main functions: - scientific calculator. - 2D graphic calculator. - 3D graphic calculator.
Solution is an advanced graphing calculator and a lean numerical environment. It is a full-featured tool for high school to college students and teachers to solve many complex problems. Out of the box, Solution includes:
MathPad is a general purpose graphing scientific calculator for the Macintosh. It uses text worksheets rather than simulating buttons on a hand held calculator. This live scratchpad interface allows you to see and edit your entire calculation.
Let me preface with a disclaimer that math is very far from my subject area expertise - but that said, I\u2019ve done some research to share some technology (high- and low-tech) options to help with online math instruction.
This seems to be the #1 tool that math instructors are missing from in-person teaching, and even as a humanities instructor, I couldn\u2019t agree more. I miss my classroom whiteboards as well! I don\u2019t love the Zoom whiteboard, so here are some alternatives. First is Whiteboard Fox, which is browser-based, can be easily shared as view-only or editable, and doesn\u2019t require an account.
Google Jamboard is a virtual whiteboard that works like a Google doc; it\u2019s more effective with tablets and pens than on a laptop, although viewing from a laptop is fine. Other virtual whiteboard options include Mural, Miro, Padlet, and OneNote. Here\u2019s an article about using OneNote to record lessons - one neat piece is that it links audio to sections of the notes, so students can click on a note to go back to that time in the video - and here\u2019s a video example of a math instructor using OneNote for a live online class:
Another useful tool is the ability to write mathematical/scientific formulas and equations. LaTeX is a typeset system that allows you to create advanced formulas and equations. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to Using LaTeX with the New Canvas Quiz Engine. To create the equations, you can use a basic WYSIWYG (\u201Cwhat you see is what you get\u201D) editor like this Codecogs one. For more fun with LaTeX, here\u2019s a great LaTeX Cheat Sheet created by Dave Richeson (Dickinson College).
Beyond the tools which can make remote math instruction more effective, it might be helpful to hear from other math instructors what they\u2019ve done to successfully translate their classes to remote delivery. Here\u2019s an article with a \u201Ctalk-though\u201D of the good points in an online math lesson, supported by video clips from the lesson. It is interesting if you want to see what an online lesson looks like and read some discussion about successful pedagogical choices.
The Mathematics Assessment Project provides examples of formative and summative assessment tasks for mathematics, and if you\u2019re in search of OER (Open Educational Resources) materials, My Open Math is free online mathematics instruction in the form of questions and video support as well as open source texts.
