This Week's App: Equatio

What is Equatio?

Getting math equations into a digital format can be difficult. This is where Equatio can come in. Equatio is a digital math tool that will help you create and convert accessible math-type. Equations, symbols, and diagrams used to be difficult to make on a computer until Equatio.

What can it be used for?

Equatio’s real selling point is that it allows you or your students to speak or write out math and then takes that and translates it to accessible text that can be copied on a computer. It also allows a user to generate and edit graphs. These features can have multiple types of uses. For example…

• Accessible Equation Generation - You can use Equatio to write out all the math for your course and automatically generate accessible equation text that can then be copied into a document or your LMS course site.
• Student Submissions - You can get your students to install Equatio and then use it to do their work for a math problem and copy it into an LMS to submit it to you. Then you can a clear readable submission instead of sketchy pics of work and your student doesn't really have to change writing out equations.
• Video Presentations - Have you ever wanted to record a video showing some math or equations, but weren't sure how to do that without getting a fancy board? With Equatio you can use a math space in the tool to do this.
• Generate Graphs - With Equatio you can lay out equations and generate graphs based on them. You can plot pairs or tables of points and more.

These are just a few ideas, there is so much that can be done with this tool. To see a full list check out their features page.

How do I get started?

Equatio is a freemium tool which means that not all the features are free. You can learn more about on their pricing page, but with a free account you can use their “Math Spaces” feature which we believe is more than enough for most of what you want to do. So we recommend starting by signing up for a free account. You can do that by going to the Equatio page and then clicking “Try Equatio”.

When you do create a new account you can learn more about getting started by checking out these guides:
