Freeform: Your Digital Math Notebook

Freeform is a versatile tool that can change how students approach math notetaking. With its flexible canvas, students can organize their thoughts visually, creating mind maps, flowcharts, or simply jotting down notes. By combining text, images, and drawings, students can create personalized and engaging study materials. Freeform promotes active learning and helps students make connections between different concepts. In today's world, we need to teach not only how to take and organize notes but also how to do it digitally. Luckily enough, we have iPad and Freeform to help us take our learning to the next level.

Such a great post, Meredith! I love how students can decide how to organize and make connections with their learning in Freeform's flexible canvas space.

I LOVE Freeform! It is such a versatile and useful tool for students! I like that if we do something in Keynote or Numbers, they can add they file to their Freeform board and it’s all in one area.
