Helping everyone understand and be understood

Making maths and science more accessible and engaging

From calculations to collaboration and critical thinking, when you think about maths, there's always more than one way to solve a problem. We all think and learn differently. Moving to digital STEM classes often has us thinking about how difficult it can be for you and your students to write complex maths equations on screen. Without knowing or teaching your students how to write in LaTeX, how can they accurately get their expressions down in a Google Doc, Google Form or a Microsoft Word document?

There’s more than one way to solve a maths problem

Texthelp tools give students the opportunity to truly show what they know in maths and science. Students and teachers can benefit from time saving tools that make maths more accessible and engaging.

From learners with dyslexia to ELL students, we all learn and understand maths in different ways. Some learners prefer to work out problems by graphing, some prefer to talk it out. 

With Texthelp tools, students have choice in how they engage and understand maths and science problems. This includes having maths read aloud using “maths-to-speech” and visualising concepts digitally.

Equatio helps to make maths and science more accessible and engaging for every learner. Equatio’s accessibility features help students to be more independent in all STEM subjects. It improves their learning experiences by giving them choice in how they understand and engage with maths. Students can use the tools in Equatio to visualise, digitise, and understand maths with independence in ways that best suit their needs.

Equatio

Through its integration with Equatio, OrbitNote gives students access to the Equatio tools they’re familiar with to view and respond to maths problems, within a PDF worksheet. Tools like Equatio’s Screenshot Reader and Equation Editor make static PDF problems more accessible.

Read&Write

Teachers in every subject use formative assessment tools to check for understanding, monitor learning progress, and provide feedback to students. In maths, formative assessment tools such as pop quizzes, asking students to build something, calling on students during class, and playing classroom games where students must apply what they have learned are used to gauge comprehension

Texthelp tools offer alternative digital assessment methods for students with disabilities or learning differences.

Learn more about using Equatio in assessments

Digital assessment tools can empower you to move beyond giving grades to providing personalised assessment and feedback. This helps you and your students to get a clear picture of where they’re at and where they need to be. Equatio’s integration with Google forms allows you to easily set digital maths quizzes. Allowing you to hear from every student at one time, and give them personalised feedback, saving classroom time and closing the feedback loop quickly.

Enhance understanding in maths with manipulatives

In today’s digital classroom, getting students to work together to solve maths problems can be a struggle. Whether that means a group of students huddled around one device, or reverting to pen and paper, neither scenario is ideal in the fast-paced, modern maths class.

Texthelp tools help to create collaborative digital workspaces for maths teachers and students.

Discover how Equatio mathspace helps understanding in maths

Equatio mathspace is a web-based tool that allows maths learners to work freely in a digital space with equations, shapes, and freehand drawings. Explaining your thinking in maths takes more than one line, and a combination of maths expressions and text. Multiple lines and shapes and freehand drawing in Equatio mathspace helps students demonstrate their understanding. Equatio mathspace integrates with Google Classroom, meaning each student has easy access to their own mathspace to solve. From here they can show their thought process and return to you through the mathspace dashboard.

Making the world of work a more inclusive environment for everyone

Driving workplace inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. From leadership and DE&I teams, to Human Resources and individual employees - we all have a part to play. We can each make an impact. Together we can drive cultural change at work and help to create a safe workplace environment where everyone is comfortable bringing their authentic self to work.

A better working world for everyone who thinks, works and learns differently

Creating a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) brings out the very best in people – and organisations. But solving the big challenges in DE&I can be a slow process. With Read&Write, companies can take an important step towards creating an inclusive workplace culture while also supporting their ESG strategies and providing return on investment.

Encourage employees to bring their whole selves to work

Everyone thinks, works, learns and behaves in ways that are truly unique. That means each employee brings out-of-the-box thinking, creative solutions and more to the workplace. It also means we should support them to work and achieve in their own way. 

Technology has a vital role to play when it comes to disability inclusion and recruiting and retaining unique talent.

With our tools, you can demonstrate that you are committed to giving all staff the tools they need to bring their best selves to work. By making tools like Read&Write available, organisations demonstrate their commitment to workplace inclusion.

Helping everyone with dyslexia understand and be understood, from education through to the world of work.

Dyslexia is one of the most common learning challenges affecting both children and adults. While no two individuals struggle with the same set of challenges. Most people with dyslexia have to work harder than their peers to develop their literacy skills. Defined by the International Dyslexia Association, "“Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterised by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities."

Lifelong support for people with dyslexia

Although signs of dyslexia may be picked up in early childhood, often diagnosis doesn’t come until later in education, and can even go undiagnosed into adulthood and the workplace. It’s important to understand that dyslexia doesn’t end when a child’s education ends. So whatever support a child or young person receives during their education needs to be carried through into adult life and the workplace.

Texthelp tools are designed to support children in education, understand and work alongside their peers. The same tools provide adults with dyslexia in the workplace with the flexibility to choose how they engage with content, complete tasks, and communicate with their colleagues.

No two students with dyslexia experience the same challenges in the classroom. That’s why it’s important to offer choice in tools and resources made available. This gives students the autonomy to choose the tools that best help them to learn, engage with resources and their peers, and demonstrate their mastery in a topic area.

Read&Write offers over 20 different reading and writing tools including text-to-speech, speech input, and word prediction. Allowing students with dyslexia to choose how they access and engage with classroom content.

Helping employees with dyslexia excel in the workplace

Adults with dyslexia in the workplace think, work, learn and behave in ways that are truly unique. That means they bring out-of-the-box thinking, creative solutions and more to the workplace. It also means we should support them to work and achieve in their own way.

Read&Write for Work offers over 20 tools that support the 10% of your workforce with dyslexia to engage with content, complete tasks, and communicate with their colleagues. It powers company DEI programs, making it easier to attract from a wider talent pool and retain diverse talent.

Welcoming and supporting every student in our classrooms

In its most simple form, inclusive education means accepting, understanding and catering for students’ differences and diversity whether that’s physical, cognitive, academic, social, or emotional. The goal of inclusive education is that students spending time outside the regular classroom environment is an exception rather than the norm.

In well established inclusive education environments, students feel welcomed and comfortable in our classrooms and are supported throughout their education.

What does inclusion in education look like?

The role of technology in inclusive education

Everyone thinks and learns differently. That’s at the very heart of inclusive education. When we know where each student’s strengths lie, and how they like to learn best, we can start to provide tools, and technology to support their style of learning.

Texthelp tools are designed to support every learner in your classroom. Each tool has a range of supports to compliment learning in the classroom and at home. Helping you to create an inclusive learning environment. 

Supporting students with specific learning difficulties

Students with specific learning difficulties often form a significant part of our varied and diverse classrooms.  It’s important that we provide these students with the tools they need to access the curriculum every day. Helping them to learn, engage with resources and their peers, and demonstrate their mastery in a topic area.

Read&Write is particularly useful for supporting students with specific learning difficulties. Specific accessibility tools alongside the reading and writing tools, help to create a level playing field for everyone.

Making the maths class inclusive and engaging

To make maths lessons inclusive, we need to anticipate what barriers to taking part and learning particular activities, lessons may pose for students in our class. In planning we need to consider the accessibility of our lessons and ways of minimising or reducing those barriers so that all students can fully take part and learn. We want all of our learners to foster independent learning techniques.

Discover how Equatio helps learners with specific learning difficulties

From learners with specific learning difficulties to EAL/D students, Equatio’s accessibility features help students to be more independent in STEM subjects. It lets students visualise, digitise and understand maths with independence and in ways that best suit their needs.

Solutions for Universal Design for Learning

Supporting the UDL framework with technology for every student.

You can learn more about UDL in our interactive guide

Universal design for learning is defined by CAST as, “a framework to improve and optimise teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn.” The UDL approach to teaching minimises barriers and maximises outcomes for all learners. It begins with the foundational understanding that every learner is highly variable. In any classroom or learning environment, you can expect that there will be a wide range of interests, background experiences, and skills.

Texthelp tools are designed with UDL at their core. The tools allow learners choice in the way they access and engage with educational content as well as variations in how they demonstrate mastery and understanding.

When we talk about engagement in education, we are focused on providing learners with multiple ways to access and interact with content. This could include using pictures, audio, video, or text; providing multiple levels of difficulty; or offering different tasks that appeal to different learning needs.

Texthelp tools provide learners with an array of methods to find relevance in their learning and allow them to persist when learning is challenging.

With over 20 tools to choose from, Read&Write allows you to create a richer and more engaging learner experience for everyone in the classroom. It provides many opportunities to remove barriers and make learning more accessible. Tools such as picture dictionaries, audio maker, and text-to-speech, Read&Write helps to make learning more equitable for every learner.

Learners can hear math read aloud, they can visualise graphs with our Desmos integration, and they can use Mathspace to experiment with shapes and spaces.

The Representation principle in the UDL framework makes sure that learners can learn and use information in lots of different ways. This might mean using different ways to show information, like listening, looking, or doing things. It could also mean using pictures or short sentences to help remember important ideas after each lesson.

Texthelp tools provide many ways to present educational content, from imagery, through to hearing content read aloud.

Read&Write is built with UDL in mind. This means that there are many options for learners to use and access information. Tools like text-to-speech and audio maker allow learners to hear written text read aloud. Picture Dictionaries and vocabulary lists mean students can see visual representations of words and topics.
