Angela,

Try the Accessible Equation Editor. There are tons of palettes of
symbols you can use in case you can't type it on the computer
keyboard. It will not do calculations, but you can use a calculator
for that. That way, you could have a teacher check your work as you're
doing it. If you need to email it, that's another issue. You could
write it in a word doc and send it off1 or you could write it on the
equation editor to get all the symbols down, then copy and paste it
into a word doc or email, then send it. Hope that helps!

Best,
Cricket Bidleman
