Fluidmath is one of the most innovative applications that I have seen yet. This easy to use and engaging application allows you to take your hand written notes and create graphs, table of contents and much more. This application can be used by teachers, no longer are the days of hand written graphs and spending way to much time ensuring things look perfect. Students will be wowed with its speed and accuracy. Students can even utilize the app to help save time creating the graph and focus more of their time on the actual analysis. At $1.99 it is extremely affordable for both students and teachers. Still not sure if you are ready to buy the app you can try the free version which does everything but just doesn't let you save your work.
The app is optimal for:
Grade 9 applied linear relations
Grade 9 academic linear relations and analytical geometry
Grade 10 applied modeling linear relations and quadratic relations of the for
y = ax2 + bx + c
Grade 10 academic Quadratic Relations of the Form y = ax2 + bx + c and analytical geometry

This app is looks very cool and I can think of numerous ways it can benefit students. Not only it is easy for classroom instruction, but those students that require writing accommodations in their IEPs can use this app on their iPads as easily as someone graphing on paper. They can keep up with the pace of the class and aren't waiting to type in equations, fractions etc. This is especially important for analytic geometry where graphing is the first step of complex multi-step problems. Some students spend alot of time creating legible hand drawn graphs This will speed things up to the delight of student and teacher. My only question is there an app comparable for Windows 8? We use iPads and Surfaces in the classroom and I would like all students to have access to this technology.
