Functionality Questions
Yes! Just click the “Math Type” button in the menu bar. Then, place your mouse or cursor anywhere on the MathWhiteboard page. You will see a little box and a blinking cursor. You can then type math with your keyboard. You can also use the virtual calculator keyboard that is displayed on the bottom of the page.
Just go to the “Insert” menu and select “Graph”. This will place an empty graph on the page. You can then drag and drop your typed math expression into the graph. If you typed a math expression with free variables, like “m” and “b” in “y=mx+b”, you can just click on “m” and click on “b” in the typed math expression and a slider will be displayed.
There are a couple of ways to create sliders. If you are writing on the screen with a stylus or your finger, just write an assignment like “m=1” (any variable = a number) and then draw a straight line down from the equal sign. A slider will replace the assignment on the page. If you have typed your math on the page, just click a variable in the typed math and a slider will be displayed.
