Mathtype Best tool for K1-12 teacher

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: previously we had problems with integration between MathType with learning management systems such as google classroom. Still, since the new version release, we can integrate with the google classroom well, especially during the covid situation student can not come to class, teachers can not meet each other, but the teacher can still work with another teacher online using MathType.

Pros:

is stable and well-integrated with other platforms such as moodle and google classroom and collaboration works for the new version lets teachers work with each other on the same page. the best feature I like is handwriting we can write the formula in handwriting and it converts to the MathType formula.

Cons:

it's excellent already, for the new version, but if you are using the old version please move to the new version on the cloud to get rich features.

Mathtype is a must for edtech companies to design quality teaching content.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Easy to make textbook solutions requiring mathematical equations for physics, chemistry and maths.

Pros:

Complex mathematical equations can be easily inserted in the solution. This app integrates with Ms Word which helps in making instant mathtype equations directly in the word file. All the symbols are present in the tool.

Cons:

This tool cannot be used without training. The interface is difficult to handle in the beginning. The tool has different prices based on the requirement.

La herramienta profesional más efectiva para creación de formulas.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: En los últimas años mi expriencia ha sido completament epositiva, ya que hete nido la oportunidad de diseñar libros escolares de matemáticas y física con formulas muy complejas pero a partir de la última versión es prácticamente imposible el trabjar de forma profesioanal con software de diseño, ya que ahora solo puedeo usarlo para Office 365 y ya no exsite compatibilidad ocn los nuevos sistemas a partir de Mac OS Catalina en adelante, y el soporte técnico prácticamente no da ninguna solución

Pros:

La facilidad de uso y la compatibilidad con mis programas de diseño y publiación como Microsoft Word e Indesign.

Cons:

Para usuarios Mac que tienen una version susperior de sisteam operativo Mojave, es te programa a sufrido cambios que impiden el usarlo de forma profesional, ahora se limita a la creación de formulas en Office 365.
