And because it's an add-on to SMART Notebook software, you'll also have access to the same great software tools in SMART Notebook that inspire instruction and learning worldwide.

Plot graphs

Add flexibility to your instruction

With SMART Notebook Math Tools it is easy to create and add math-specific tables and graphs to your instruction materials. Use the Graph Wizard to design a quadrant or Cartesian graph specific to your lesson or quickly drag and drop a default graph to a SMART Notebook page.

Graphs can also be generated from equations, with up to 2 equations linking to a single graph. The software's dynamic tools also give you flexibility when examining relationships between tables and graphs, plotting a line of best fit and creating line graphs. You’ll be able to demonstrate concepts symbolically and numerically using a variety of graph types.

Create high-quality teaching materials

SMART Notebook Math Tools recognizes handwritten mathematical equations including symbols and notation. This allows you to convert your handwritten equations to textbook-quality equations in just 2 clicks.

With SMART Notebook Math Tools’ advanced equation editor you can also insert and edit textbook-quality equations into your class materials. Copy and paste equations or question sets from other software applications, such as Microsoft Word without reformatting. Once an equation is recognized, you can simplify, solve and graph the solution.

Math tools

Whether they are calculating, measuring or interpreting data, students gain a greater understandin of solving math problems with SMART Notebook Math Tools. Features, such as an integrated math engine and integration with your Texas Instruments emulator, enable you to guide students step by step through a concept and motivate them to find the answer.

Add-on to SMART Notebook software
With SMART Notebook Math Tools you receive a variety of math-specific tools, as well as access to all the great features and Gallery items available in SMART Notebook software. SMART Notebook Math Tools embeds all the tools you need right into SMART Notebook software, saving you from running several different applications during a lesson.
Advanced equation editor
Insert and edit textbook-quality equations into your lesson activities with the advanced equation editor. You can copy and paste equations or question sets without reformatting from other software applications, such as Microsoft Word. SMART Notebook Math Tools recognizes most equations, allowing you to solve and graph solutions.
Handwriting recognition and equation solving
Handwrite questions on the fly - SMART Notebook Math Tools recognizes handwritten mathematical equations and symbols that can be solved and graphed. Expressions can be numerically or symbolically solved, with full support for fractions, exponents and multi-line expressions.
Texas Instruments emulator integration
If you have a Texas Instruments emulator, you can launch it with one click in SMART Notebook Math Tools. The TI calculator stays on top of your other applications, so it’s always available for copying math expressions into your lessons.
Table and graphing tools
Incorporate tables into your lesson activities. SMART Notebook Math Tools includes math table features with labeled columns and dynamic, interactive graphing capabilities. Easily show the relationship between tables of values and their points plotted on the graph. Changed values on the graph are automatically reflected in the table and vice versa.
Graph Wizard
Use the Graph Wizard to create graphs that suit your lesson, or use one of the default graphs for fast instruction during a lesson. Lines and shapes can be added to your graphs, with the option of showing the coordinates of the vertices and side lengths.
Customizable math toolbar
Get instant access to math-specific tools within SMART Notebook software. Customize the default toolbar to show only the tools you want, or display a second toolbar just showing math tools.
New and improved shapes

Discover shapes not previously available in SMART Notebook software. Incorporate perfect squares, semicircles, triangles and curved lines into your activities. In addition, SMART Notebook Math Tools includes 12 standard regular polygons and a new irregular polygon tool that enables you to create polygons with as many sides as you want. You can also draw a circle from a center point.

Shape manipulation

Manipulate shapes and incorporate them into your lesson activities. With angle manipulation, you can independently adjust the vertices of any shape and watch the angle and line lengths change instantly. Adjust 1 angle and the corresponding side lengths change automatically. The display of side lengths can be hidden and revealed anytime during a lesson.

Shape division
Divide shapes such as circles and rectangles into equal parts using shape division. Then label each part as a fraction of the whole. The individual parts can be independently manipulated or grouped with others.
Ruler
Make accurate measurements with the advanced ruler. Resize it for your lesson activities by increasing or decreasing the length without losing the scale. Use digital ink to trace along its edge, it will give you a perfect line every time. The ruler can be flipped for metric or imperial measurements, and all of the numbers on the ruler stay vertical as it is rotated making them easy to read. The ruler also displays the current angle as it is rotated.
Protractor
Use the protractor in 180 degree mode or expand it to 360 degrees. You can use digital ink to trace along its edge to draw a perfect curve. Numbers on the protractor stay vertical when the protractor is rotated, making them easy to read. The angle ejector allows you to set an angle on the protractor and instantly insert it into your lesson without having to draw it freehand.
Compass
Create arcs or circles easily with the compass. The ink always matches your current pen or ink selection, and the image can be adjusted to any size on the screen.
Integrated math engine
Evaluate simple and complex math expressions in SMART Notebook software without the need for a separate calculator.
