What is Equatio?

Equatio is an equation editor used to create digital, accessible math, and is designed to save time, lower stress and eliminate frustration.

Equatio aims to create accessible learning experiences in math and science, so that students get choice in the tools that they need to succeed. This includes having math read aloud, using 'math to speech' and visualizing math problems with geometric shapes, manipulatives, and dynamic graphs. Equatio also provides students and teachers with a collaborative and digital space to allow students to work freely and show their thinking.

Equatio also aims to remove barriers to inclusive math, helps to create independent learners, and lets students choose to engage with math and science in a way that suits them best.

It supports our learners in class by offering scaffolding and tools to enhance learning. Children are able to access a range of tools for support or extension. It develops and fosters independence where the children make decisions about their own learning and how to move it forward. The tools support the role of teacher.
  • Range of symbols
  • Handwriting recognition
  • Works in Google docs and slides
  • Handwriting recognition is good but sometimes slow
  • Prediction
It is suitable for learners that are completing their maths tasks online. It means they can effortlessly use mathematical symbols with accuracy. It means that the work is presented effectively. It is not so useful for jottings and working out as it tries too predict too much when the child is not finished.

We have a district of 10,000 students with a domain license. Students who have physical, cognition, visual, and executive functioning needs are all students who need to use this product; however, we are training and implementing the use of Equatio from a universal lens so that all students use it.
  • Speaking math
  • Equation predition
  • Visual supports imbedded for physical manipulation access
  • Additional templates for higher level math in math space
  • Examples that teachers can use and see how they can address access needs within Equatio.
We have multiple students who need to speak math and have limited fine motor abilities to complete math independently. Given the ability to speak math and have it transcribed to text allows these students to independently complete tasks, that would otherwise require an adult sitting next to them.

Equatio is used to support all students and staff with making math accessible digitally.
  • It has a separate Mathspace workplace for doing problem solving tasks.
  • It integrates with Read&Write 4GC tools to allow for literacy support along with numeracy support.
  • It works well with Google forms, Docs, and PDFs in Orbitnote
  • The AI quiz generator is a great time saver!
  • Making the interface a little simpler for students so that they know which tool to choose.
It is well suited in the upper junior, intermediate and senior school levels. The digital tools in math space are the only appropriate tools for primary students.

With our students using Chromebooks, it was very difficult for them to be able to digitally input math and science characters. Equatio provides a simple interface where they have multiple options on how to input- written on device, written on mobile device, autofill, typing, etc. Once the interface loads, it is very intuitive. As well, it works with Google Forms which made it a lot more feasible for our math and science departments do to online quizzes. This became a key extension during the pandemic and has continued to be used since our return.
  • Input from mobile device
  • Autofill equations
  • Input math and science characters in Google Docs and Forms
  • Mobile app to work with math space
This is a must have extension for any paperless environment for math and science. The ability to input math and science characters without having to use latex has made digital math input a viable option for our younger students. It does require some initial training but the students did pick it up very quickly.

We use Equatio for teachers to add math to Google Forms, primarily. Prior to Equatio, teachers took screenshots of PDFs or other programs to embed math into their assessments. As you might imagine, this was incredibly cumbersome and time consuming, so teachers simply didn't use any online assessment tools. With Equatio, more students have access to accessibility features of an online assessment. We use Equatio most at the high school level, but it is used in grades 4-12.
  • Inserting math into Google Forms
  • Integrating with Google Forms for accessibility
  • Graphing calculator
  • Ease of student use
Every math teacher and advanced science teacher can use Equatio to make their work math-friendly. The tool is great for embedding math into Google Forms, Docs, and Slides. It's a great way to streamline teacher work. This intuitive tool offers multiple input methods (including speech-to-text) for accessibility, while streamlining workflows and saving teachers valuable time. By making complex math concepts clear and engaging, Equatio empowers educators to create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment for all students.

Equatio is used mostly to create exams by the curriculum math coaches. Some students use it to respond, but not many.
  • Math Space
  • Coins, Periodic Table
  • Clone
  • Integration
  • Sign In
  • Inserting mathspace
Suited well for teachers, but not easy to use for students.

I am an itinerant teacher who teaches teachers how to embed assistive technology into their lessons. Our board has purchased a district license. The goal is for teachers and students to use this tool to access curriculum that might be inaccessible for some without it - and for all students to be able to use the tool to enhance their learning
.
  • teachers appreciate the form creator (though it has limitations)
  • interactive manipulatives are great
  • assigning assignments is so simple and easy
  • in the forms creator sometimes regardless of the level the questions are difficult or not exactly what was asked for
  • using the tool is not very easy for students - it is difficult for them to show their thinking without following many steps - students who require this tool are often struggling academically and it would be great if it could be simpler
  • The coordinate plane shape can only do up to 13 ticks before the labels make it unreadable (and stroke width 1 doesn’t work when selected)
For teacher use it is a great tool for creating content and assigning it - for student use it is complicated at times and too many steps to accomplish what they are hoping to.
