For some, the hardest part about math
is writing the darn problem.
Introducing the new and improved Mod Math - Now for Algebra students too.
The first free math iPad app to help kids with dysgraphia just got better. Like the original version, you can still use the touchscreen and keypad to set up and solve math problems without ever picking up a pencil. But in addition to basic math problems, Modmath now handles complex algebraic equations too—from multiplication and long division to variables and quadratic equations.
Modmath helps lots of kids, but it is particularly helpful for kids who have these 4 specific difficulties:
Dyslexia (which makes reading difficult)
Dysgraphia (which makes writing difficult)
Dyscalculia (which makes number sense and number placement difficult)
Dyspraxia (which makes coordinated movement difficult)
Children with these difficulties often struggle to solve math problems with traditional paper and pencil. And if you can’t write a math problem, you can’t solve a math problem.
Modmath is assistive technology available for iPad (and soon for Chromebook and Android devices) that allows children to independently and quickly complete math assignments. Modmath is not a calculator. Instead, Modmath facilitates mathematical notation. Students import their assignments directly into Modmath, write equations on scalable, digital graph paper, and then use the custom keypad with all the numbers and symbols they need to solve equations. Teachers can then evaluate students on their understanding of math, not on their handwriting.
How Modmath Works
Provides students with a virtual piece of graph paper, where they can set up math problems in a format that’s easily legible.
Provides students with a pencil-free platform for doing basic to advanced arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, square roots, and advanced algebraic equations.
