Award Winner: Technology and Learning Software of the Year

MathPad functions as an electronic numbers processor that allows students to solve basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems directly on the computer. Students do all their own calculations. MathPad is the perfect tool for students who have difficulty doing math with pencil and paper or who need help organizing or navigating through math problems. Suggested skill level: first grade through adult.

Special Access Features
 

MathPad is accessible by mouse, IntellIkeysâ, and switch. The two overlays for IntelliKeys that come with the program, can be used with the Numbers and Alphabet standard keyguards. Choose from multiple font sizes and colors.
The program can be set to read back problems as well as rows of numbers. It can also be set to provide navigational assistance by automatically moving the cursor to the next place in the problem.

Enter Your Own Problems

Use the 300 bonus problems that come with MathPad or enter your own. MathPad allows the teacher or student to enter problems directly into the program or to import problem lists created with a word processor. MathPad automatically sets up problems using the correct vertical format. Students can go to the Problem List box to check their answers. MathPad places a check if the problem is answered correctly, or a dash if it’s incorrect. The program lets you set up a file for each student and keeps a portfolio of his or her work. 

MathPad was developed by InfoUse under grant #1R43HD33310 from the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health.
