Photomath

I recently discovered a new app and must share it! The app is called photomath. This app is perfect for parents or teachers. You scan a math problem and it gives you the answer with the option to see the steps to solve it. This is perfect for me since I make a lot of my own math homework. I don't have keys, well now I just scan it! This is also perfect for parents. When a parent isn't quite sure how to solve it they can scan the problem and see the steps. This is also great for parents that want to check their child's homework. It doesn't take up too much of their time! Another great thing about this app is that it's FREE!!!! There are a few things I have noticed about this app. It only works on mathematical and algebraic equations; it does not work on word problems. Another thing I noticed is that it only works on typed problems; it can't decipher handwritten. Here is a list of the types of problems it does work for:

This is worth checking out! Students may try to cheat, but it will only get them so far. This is a better tool for teachers and parents!
