Math Tools Part IV - Formula Handwriting Recognition - (05-04-2010)

Author:  Vanessa Cassie

 

In today's tutorial on Math Tools for SMART Notebook, I've featured what I believe is the best element of the new toolbar -- formula handwriting recognition.  While SMART Notebook has always allowed for handwriting to be converted into actual text, most Math formulas went "wonky" when teachers tried to apply this element. 

Luckily, SMART recognized the need and demand for this feature when they released their Math toolbar! Check out my quick 'how-to' video below for a demo of what this new option can do for the Math teachers you know. (Where was this when I was a kid?):



   

For those keeping track, this is my 4th venture into the world of 'how to' video making. I gotta say, it doesn't get any easier to hear your own voice played back! lol :)

Happy Monday!

Vanessa

Has anyone tried using the "math actions" simplify symbolically? I'm getting weird results.

Please help me to use it right... I might be doing something wrong.

I watched the video on rotating an object about a given point. I had trouble understanding how to go about determining the size and location of the camera copying area to ensure that point of rotations remains stationary. I found a way that seems to work well. Draw a circle with the centre same as the point of rotation and enclosing the object being rotated.

Now draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. Move these lines so that they are tangent to the circle. These lines define a square. Mark two opposite vertices of the square. Delete the circle and the lines.
Now use camera tool and select from one vertex to the other. Remaining steps are similar to yours.

Hope this helps

Do you know of a list of math functions that can be graphed. I've tried y=e^x and no success. Also I've tried to simplify expressions like (2x-3)(x+4) and all that it returns is the the same unchanged (unexpanded) expression.

Please help

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
