New Math Tools in OneNote Make Problem Solving Easier for Teachers
Many teachers have turned to Microsoft’s OneNote for their teaching activities, thanks to its versatile tools and convenience. With features like the ability to type, draw, and easily insert files and links, OneNote has become a go-to platform for educators. Now, a new addition to OneNote called Math Tools is set to revolutionize problem solving in the classroom.
Math Tools in OneNote allows teachers to solve math problems, create graphs, and show step-by-step solutions. All it takes is writing or typing the problem, and Math Tools will do the rest. This handy feature eliminates the need for manual calculations and graphing, saving teachers valuable time.
To use Math Tools, teachers simply need to follow a few simple steps. First, they write the problem on OneNote using either a keyboard or the ink-to-math feature that converts handwritten symbols into typed symbols. Next, they select the problem with the mouse and click on the Math button at the top. If the conversion to mathematical symbols is incorrect, there is an option to fix it. By dragging the mouse over the incorrect part and selecting the correct symbol from the system, the problem is resolved.
Math Tools also allows teachers to choose between solving the problem or drawing a graph. To draw a graph, teachers choose the option from the menu on the right-hand side. Once the drawing is complete, it can be easily dragged into the content for use in teaching or creating media.
Additionally, Math Tools provides not only the answer to the problem but also a step-by-step solution. Teachers can drag and drop this section into the content, allowing students to follow along with the solution. Moreover, the program has an audio feature that reads out the solution, providing a multi-faceted learning experience.
Looking towards the future, Microsoft aims to further enhance Math Tools in OneNote. One exciting feature in the pipeline is the ability to generate math quizzes. This function will enable teachers to create similar problems based on specified criteria, ensuring students have ample practice opportunities. These quizzes can be shared via OneNote or through Microsoft Forms.
OneNote’s Math Tools is a game-changer for teachers, simplifying problem solving and improving the learning experience for students. With its user-friendly interface and innovative features, it is no wonder that many educators are embracing OneNote as their go-to teaching tool.
