MathType Reviews
"Mathtype Best tool for K1-12 teacher"
Overall: previously we had problems with integration between MathType with learning management systems such as google classroom. Still, since the new version release, we can integrate with the google classroom well, especially during the covid situation student can not come to class, teachers can not meet each other, but the teacher can still work with another teacher online using MathType.
Pros: is stable and well-integrated with other platforms such as moodle and google classroom and collaboration works for the new version lets teachers work with each other on the same page. the best feature I like is handwriting we can write the formula in handwriting and it converts to the MathType formula.
Cons: it's excellent already, for the new version, but if you are using the old version please move to the new version on the cloud to get rich features.
