One of it is learning Mathematics. Many students have experienced how difficult for them to understand each Mathematical equation and solve the problem. Here are some of the digital tools that can help students develop the necessary foundational understanding of Mathematical Operations.

1. Brainly– It’s a learning Flat form for anyone to ask and answer homework questions. Students can ask anything here and post. Anyone who sees or reads the post will answer that in the comment section. If there’s a problem can’t be answered in math, just post it there and wait for the answers. It’s good to use this app because most members of brainy are experts, no one will bother to comment if they don’t know the answer.

2. Microsoft Mathematics– Is an entry-level educational app that solves math and science problems. This app can be used in advance because it is part of the Microsoft office and can update it anytime, it has many benefits that can be used not only for students but also for teachers. This app can be download from the playstore for free and no adds

3. Khan Academy– Is an American non-profit educational organization created in 2008 by Sal Khan. It is a school alike but on the internet.

Students can choose from thousands of problems and examples to develop mastery through rapid detailed feedback on randomly generated values, allowing missed tasks to be retried. This website focuses on helping students learn and practice their cognitive skills while also providing them with pleasure and the desire to learn more and explore mathematics.

6. Desmos – Is a free advanced graphing calculator that allows users to discover new and intriguing ways to learn math. This web application offers numerous features that will assist every student in their studies and supports inquiry-based learning to help students gain a better knowledge of mathematics. Students can demonstrate their thinking in different ways and work at their own pace since it is quick and free to set up and run simple activities.
