The Benetech Math Editor: An Inclusive Multistep Math Editor for Solving Problems

摘要

WYSIWYG editors for entering math in documents have existed for over 20 years. A few of these are accessible, but almost all are geared towards entering a single expression, not to the process of solving a math problem. The Benetech math editor introduces two simple and unique ideas that are very useful in the middle and high school settings for solving math problems. The first idea allows a student to cross out or cancel subexpressions; the second allows them to annotate their work so the teacher or other reviewer knows the student's reasoning.
