[Nfb-science] Math window

[louise.flickinger at isd181.org]

I use it with students in the K-12 school system for calculating math problems. It can be used for testing and working through equations spatially- similar to paper and pencil. 
I don't know how valuable it would be when you know the concepts already and may have other tools that work.

I just use a magnetic dry erase board I got at Target and a set of magnetic letters and numbers. As long as you can tell one symbol from another by its shape, the symbols themselves don't actually matter. We just assign values to them as needed.
