Community reviews for MyScript Calculator

I wouldn't necessarily call this a teaching tool. The kids like to use this calculator, so it kind of gets them excited in that regard.

I like this app as it takes guess work out of equations/numbers on paper. Screen caps allow students to submit answers to CMS'. Students like the magic of handwriting transforming to print before their eyes. Very happy that e auto-calculate function can be turned off so students still have to solve the problem before checking their work.

MyScript Calculator is a great interactive app that is an easy way to incorporate technology into the classroom. Students are able to use this app very easily because of the tutorial provided when first using the app. Students really enjoy using their fingers to write out equations and watch their handwritten equations turn into a digital form. However, this app is can only be used as a calculator. It does not enhance the students learning of how to solve different equations.

While this app is fun for the students, some will bypass the assignment all together and just type in the calculations and write down the answers. This will only truly work well for someone who is checking previously done mental work.

I do not like this app because students tend to spend a lot of time setting up a problem in order to get an answer. You have to be very careful how you write the problem so you get the set up you want to get the answer you need. I believe it is a great concept but might need a little extra help to make it more effective.

It is very helpful

When our 8th grade students received this app during my computer classes I immediately had them download this app. I thought it was a great app for students to preform calculations. The students like this app because they find it easier to use than a traditional calculator.
