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.
