 7.

Tool Name:

MyScript Calculator

Access Link:

https://www.myscript.com/calculator/

Suggestions for Classroom Applications:

MyScript Calculator allows you to write a math problem with your finger or stylus on the screen
and it will provide you with an answer. This tool allows you to write the problem instead of
pushing numbers on a calculator. It is also easier than a calculator in that you do not have to set it
in different modes to solve certain problems. I would use this tool in my class to help stud ents
better visualize math problems. I would only use it for k-5. I think it is important for students to
start learning how to use a scientific calculator at least by 6 th grade. MyScript is an app that can
be used on iPads.

Grade Level Relevancy:

k-12

Evaluation of Ease of Use:

This tool literally could not get any easier. All that is required is writing out the math problem
and it gives you an answer.

Tool Name:

The Elements

Access Link:

http://apps.theodoregray.com/the-elements/

Suggestions for Classroom Applications:

This is an app that can be downloaded on iPads. The Elements app is an in-depth and visual
representation of the Periodic Table of Elements. The elements on this app are 3D and move. This
creates a nice affect to the elements and make them look more concrete and less difficult to
comprehend. If I were a chemistry teacher in grades 6-12 I would require that my students
download this app purely as an excellent resource to possess.

Grade Level Relevancy:

6-12

Evaluation of Ease of Use:

Extremely easy to use and very interactive.

Probability of Use:

Very likely
