The Math tool found in the Draw Ribbon of OneNote can be used to help solve equations. OneNote will recognise the math equation and presents you with a list of relevant options, it then shows the answer. You can see the steps involved in solving it, sometimes there is more than one way of solving so you can get OneNote to show you them all. These steps can also be viewed in the Immersive Reader.

Once you understand the solutions you can get more experience and test yourself by generating a practice quiz in Microsoft Forms by selecting ‘Generate a practice quiz’. Forms will then use AI to create a set of similar questions, you can even select how many questions you want. Once chosen, the quiz will then open on the same page directly in Class Notebook.

The quiz gives you the opportunity to work independently on your maths skills, when you submit your answers you will get immediate feedback.

Class Notebook allows you to type but also hand draw directly on a page so you can use whichever you are most comfortable with.
