Math Homework Helper
If you are the parent of a student that regularly asks you for help on their math homework, this tip is for you.
Most of us can’t remember much about the higher levels of math that high school students have for homework, so an app called Photomath can be an important tool to help.
What makes this app so useful is that all you have to do is point your phone’s camera at the math problem to allow the app to both solve the equation and give you the steps that explain how it got solved.
Many will jump to the obvious conclusion that this app can be used by students to cheat on their homework, but they can already cheat in a multitude of other ways if that’s their motivation.
Keep in mind, this app actually helps anyone that uses it to learn how to solve equations instead of just giving them the answer.
Photomath can be an incredible teaching tool in the hands of a parent, especially those that have little recollection of the math lessons from decades ago.
