Math teachers, what if there was a way to help students who say \u201cI\u2019m not a math person\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m just not good at math\u201d? When a student lacks math confidence, every challenge along the way simply confirms their self-doubt. These challenges only intensify as students move through their K-12 school experience and their needs and the course content continue to evolve. The good news is that Math Assistant<\/a>, found in Microsoft OneNote, helps students find their math confidence and gain important math skills through inclusive, individualized features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellie is a 5th grade student who is currently learning about multiplying fractions. Ellie has consistently enjoyed learning the steps for multiplication and understood the concept of fractions almost immediately. However, combining the two ideas into multiplying fractions has been challenging, even when using a calculator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a learner who constantly takes notes to remember her teacher\u2019s instructions, Ellie can quickly draw equations on her Windows 11SE device\u2019s touchscreen and convert the image into a mathematical format using Ink to Math<\/a>. Ellie, like most of her classmates, is still developing her handwriting skills and she can select which characters she is writing to ensure that each problem comes out exactly right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
