EquatIO

EquatIO is a Google Chrome extension that makes math digitally accessible.

It allows students to create mathematical equations, formulas and show math thinking digitally. Students can interact with these math spaces using the large suite of virtual manipulatives included with this program. Having trouble accessing the EquatIO extension?
