Support for students of all learning styles

The many features of SMART Notebook Math Tools enable you to enhance math lessons for students with various learning styles. With SMART Notebook Math Tools, you can show a single concept in multiple ways and reach every student, whether they learn by seeing or doing.

SMART Notebook Math Tools is designed for middle and secondary math classrooms, but many of its tools are ideal for primary math lessons as well.

Here are some examples of how SMART Notebook Math Tools supports all students in a math classroom, no matter what your lesson is about.

Fractions

You can write a fraction on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard or you can provide your students a more visual representation, using the shape division tool. It allows you to divide shapes into individual and equal parts that can be labeled to show each part of the whole shape.

Tables and graphs

Some students can interpret data more easily by looking at a table, while some understand better analyzing a graph. With SMART Notebook Math Tools, you can create linkable equations, tables and graphs, so that you can show the data in both. When you manipulate the values on the graph, the changes are automatically reflected on the table and vice versa.

Equations

For many students, understanding the structure of equations requires practice in writing them out, rather than just studying them. SMART Notebook Math Tools offers handwriting recognition for mathematical equations right within SMART Notebook software. This means your students can practice writing out equations and then simplify, solve and graph their solutions. Expressions can be solved both numerically and symbolically, with full support for fractions, exponents and multiline expressions.
