MathType Desktop (Mac or Windows) looks and works slightly differently from MathType Web (Google Docs or Slides). MathType: $39.95/year for students (Mac or Windows) Kids can also create 3D graphs and drawings, and add math notations, labels, shading, and notes to their work. They can export or print out the results. With the graphing tool: Kids can type out an equation and plot it or draw lines and curves directly on virtual graph paper. They can also easily insert the equations they create into Word, PowerPoint, and other programs. With the math notation: FX Equation lets kids quickly type out correctly formatted equations using only their keyboards. You can also add on the FX Draw Bonus Tools ( FX Equation, FX Graph, and FX Stat).įree for qualified students whose disability makes math and science materials difficult to produce. Kids can also create 3D graphs and drawings, and then save or export their finished work in various formats. With the drawing tool: Kids can draw objects such as polygons, ellipses, lines, and curves often used in geometry, and then label their drawings. With the graphing tool: Using digital graph paper, kids can type equations to draw graphs, plot points, and draw lines and curves. GeoGebra Calculator Suite (Graphing, 3D Calculator, Geometry)
#MATH PROGRAMS FOR MAC FREE#
GeoGebra: Free (Mac, Windows, Chrome, iPad, online) With the math screenshot reader: Kids can take a screenshot of math equations on the web and convert them to equations that can be edited and also read aloud by Read&Write.

With math-to-speech: Equations created by EquatIO can be read aloud by Read&Write software. With the collaborative workspace (“mathspace”): Students and teachers can write, sketch, and draw to work on math problems together. With the graphing tool: Using digital graph paper, kids can type equations to draw graphs, plot points, and draw lines and curves. This can reduce copying errors and is often quicker.

With the math image importer: Using EquatIO’s mobile companion app, kids can snap a photo of a math problem (from a textbook or a worksheet) and transfer the image to EquatIO instead of typing in the problem. For example, typing “sq” displays options for drawing a square, or for entering an exponent of 2 or a square root symbol. With the math and chemistry prediction: Typing the name for a math or chemistry symbol will display a list of possible choices. With the math and chemistry notation tools: Kids can enter correctly formatted math or chemistry expressions by typing, dictation (speech-to-math), or handwriting (works best with touchscreen or graphics tablet and legible handwriting). Math and chemistry notation by typing, handwriting, or dictation With the math-to-speech: Students can hear each step of the math solution read aloud accurately. This allows the teacher to see the student’s reasoning and identify which steps the student has and hasn’t mastered. Students can also explain their thinking on each step via typing or dictation. With Mathshare: Students are prompted to solve multi-step math problems by breaking the problem into smaller parts. With the math image importer: Kids can snap a photo of a math problem (from a textbook or a worksheet) and enter the image on the grid instead of typing in the problem. Kids can print out completed work or email it to their teacher. ModMath works best with stacked math problems (+ – × ÷) through basic algebra. With the digital math grid: Kids can use an onscreen math keyboard to enter numbers, symbols, and variables to write out math expressions on digital graph paper.

This can reduce errors when entering numbers and operations and when copying the answer. With the TTS (macOS): It becomes a talking calculator, speaking the buttons as they’re pressed and reading aloud the answers. For example, they can convert meters to feet, pounds to kilograms, or Celsius to Fahrenheit. Some calculators can also convert between common measures. They can choose between a basic four-function calculator and scientific or programming calculators. With the calculator: Kids can do simple arithmetic or more complex math. Many free calculators apps for specific purposes can be downloaded for mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android).
