Equatio chrome extension

The new Equatio Whiteboard has arrived(31st January 2025) - Louis Shanafelt, Equatio Product ManagerExplore the newest addition to Equatio - the Whiteboard. Designed to allow you to jot down ideas, visualize concepts, and solve equations creatively – all within Equatio. We've been busy in the background adding even more great functionality to the Whiteboard. The entire Equatio team and I are thrilled to announce the latest enhancement to our Chrome Extension – the Whiteboard! I’m excited to share this powerful interactive whiteboard tool designed to streamline workflows and boost engagement across Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Forms, and more.What is the Whiteboard?The Whiteboard is an interactive scratchpad that allows you to jot down ideas, draw, and insert shapes, directly within your documents. Whether you're a student solving complex equations, a teacher preparing lesson plans, or a school based administrator working on data analysis, this feature is designed for you.With the Whiteboard you can:Jot down ideas, visualize concepts, and solve equations creatively – all within Equatio. No more switching between apps, losing track of work, or wasting valuable class time.Work side-by-side with students in real-time. Explain concepts visually, annotate on equations, and guide them through complex problems together.Create a dynamic learning environment where students can brainstorm freely, explore solutions visually, and explain their thought process using familiar math language and symbols.Key features of the WhiteboardDrawing tool: You can freely draw and annotate using the intuitive drawing tool. Perfect for sketching graphs, solving problems step-by-step, or adding your own notes.Insert shapes: Easily insert a variety of shapes such as circles, rectangles, diamonds, and lines. Shapes are essential for creating diagrams, geometric figures, and other visual aids. We’re also bringing the shapes that you know and love from mathspace into the whiteboard tool. Text integration: Add text directly onto the whiteboard.

In past blog posts, we’ve discussed the value of technology in math & STEM classrooms. Most notably, technology supports multiple means of representation and expression, it encourages group collaboration, and it provides students with rapid sharing and teacher feedback.Despite these benefits, I’m sure we can all think of instances where more traditional forms of education still come in handy. For example, there may be some problems that students prefer to solve on a scratch piece of paper. Or, maybe as a teacher, you still find the whiteboard to be the easiest way to present your math or STEM lesson to the entire class.We want to help you and your students merge these two forms of learning together so that you can experience the benefits of technology no matter what form the math comes in. That’s why we created EquatIO Mobile.EquatIO Mobile is a mobile companion for EquatIO for Google, Windows, Mac and EquatIO mathspace that enables you to use your phone or tablet to insert handwritten math, spoken math or images directly into your digital documents. You can draw, dictate or snap a photo, and your math is instantly viewable from your computer or Chromebook.Three ways to input mathTo get started, make sure you’ve got a document with EquatIO for Google, Windows, or Mac activated or an EquatIO mathspace open on your desktop. Now go to EquatIO Mobile on your phone or tablet. Please note that EquatIO Mobile is currently available for use on Android devices using Google Chrome or iOS devices using Safari.EquatIO Mobile will automatically find the “active documents” that you have open with EquatIO on your computer or Chromebook. Select the document that you would like to work on and then choose between three input types to add math to your digital document.Draw MathThe first is Draw

You’re a math’s teacher, you’ll know what we’re trying to say. Writing even the simplest equations is hard on the computer. Fractions, exponential powers and other mathematical formulae are difficult to compose on the digital screen. EquatIO is a Chrome extension developed to make the lives of both math teachers and math students a lot easier.The extension allows users to transcribe mathematical equation and symbols from a variety of different sources into digital format. For example, you could write an equation with a digital pen and it’ll take the photo and convert the equation into the digital format. Since every phone out there has touch screen, it’s very easy to write equations for lessons, quizzes and for online instruction.TLDR ThisWe saved the best for the last. TL;DR; means ‘too long didn’t read’. If you’ve heard of this before you’d already know what this extension is all about. With TLDR This, you can easily summarize a piece of text, document of article. It also has a dedicated web app. When you’re neck-deep in lesson plans, assignments and papers to grade, it becomes really tedious to read through long texts. With this Chrome extension (possibly one of the best Chrome extensions for teachers), you can easily read a summary of the information the text contains within. The extension allows you to have a button available on Chrome’s toolbar which when clicked will automatically summarize everything for you.Take a note though: don’t use it to summarize text written by students. Students need extra attention and it’s better to read through their text than to read an automatically generated summary.We hope our recommended extensions make a difference for you. If you’re teaching online these days, you can use online tools like KeyboardingOnline to keep things fun and engaging. Students can brush up their typing skills alongside their research skills.
