Math Assistant brings equations to life
As a multi-age STEM teacher, I'm always looking for new strategies to help students visualize and master concepts such as force. Since force is a concept that extends from the youngest elementary to highest upper-level physics, the ability for the instructor to engage and differentiate at the instructional level needed is critical. Pedagogically, it's essential that students also understand both conceptually and mathematically. The math assistant allows students to do calculations, annotate observations/data, and ink diagrams all in one place - this one stop experience can make all the difference in helping my students gain a solid understanding of both the science and math of such a cross-cutting concept."

You can type an equation to access the functionality of Math Assistant.
- Type your equation.
- Choose the Draw tab.
- Highlight your equation.
- Then choose Math Assistant.
Math assistant suggests actions for the equation such as solving for a variable and graphing.
Graphing equations
If your equation can be graphed, select Graph to produce a graph. You can zoom in and out to get right focus.
Choose Insert to Page to add the graph to the page. Once the graph is inserted, it isn't interactive.
