the future of maths & STEM in the classroom The term STEM conjures visions of engineers, lab technicians, software developers, rocket scientists, physicists, and so much more. But developing a passion for these pursuits begins in the classroom, where interest is sparked and a fundamental understanding of subject matter begins to form. We’re fortunate to live in an era when technology has swiftly evolved to enhance and achieve these foundations by providing dynamic opportunities for students to engage and interact with the learning process. But educational technology also expands and enriches instruction, allowing educators to bring concepts to life through a wide variety of media, whether it’s to explain geometric concepts, quadratic equations, scientific formulae, or even computer coding languages. At Texthelp, we’ve been developing our maths & STEM software tool EquatIO, to offer classrooms an accessible, intuitive, and fun way of exploring these subjects beyond the restrictions of the blackboard. EquatIO gives students and teachers the ability to type, hand-write, or dictate any expression, with no tricky coding or maths languages to master. There’s a huge library of predictive, ready-made expressions to save time - from simple formulas to complex functions. And getting to grips with EquatIO has never been easier, thanks to dedicated mobile support, as well as Desmos and Canvas integration. Just add maths to your document or share group assignments with a click. So give your budding maths & STEM students an opportunity to take that important first step into their future, and join over 2 million EquatIO users around the world.
