Equation Editor
Math that looks like math.
How do you teach?
Math written with a mouse turns into unreadable scribbles, and typed math is full of awkward symbols. The Equation Editor writes equations and graphs with LaTeX, a keyboard or freehand handwriting, as neat notation on the board.
Your student can’t read your mouse-drawn fractions, and you can’t read theirs. Write equations by keyboard, LaTeX or handwriting, and they appear as clean notation.
Messy notation in front of 25 students means 25 different readings. Write equations and graphs as neat math on the board, so everyone sees the same thing.
Formulas in financial or technical training need to be exact. Type them in LaTeX or with the keyboard, and they appear precisely on the board.
Equations on the classroom display need to be readable from the back. Write them by hand or keyboard, and they appear as clean notation everyone can read.
Formulas on the big screen need to be clear to every table. Enter them by keyboard or LaTeX, and they display as clean notation.
Your child’s handwritten math gets messy. Magic handwriting input turns what they write into neat notation, so you can both read it.

The problem
Math on screen turns into scribbles
Writing equations with a mouse is slow and messy, and typing math means awkward symbols. Students misread steps, and teachers spend time decoding.
The usual way
Teachers paste equations from other tools, type x^2 in plain text or write very slowly.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
An equation and graph editor with LaTeX and freehand entry: type with a keyboard, write LaTeX, or use Magic handwriting input.
What changes
Students see neat notation instead of hard-to-read scribbles.

What it looks like
In practice
A teacher writes a quadratic with Magic handwriting input. It becomes neat notation, and she graphs it in the same editor while the student watches.
In a 1:1 lesson
You type a LaTeX expression for the derivative your student is working on. It appears perfectly formatted, and she adds the next step by hand.
In a group class
You enter a system of equations by keyboard and graph both lines. The class sees where they intersect.
In a virtual training
You type the compound interest formula in LaTeX and walk participants through each variable.
In your classroom
You handwrite a fraction equation on the display and it becomes clean notation. The back row can read every number.
In the training room
You enter the pricing formula with the keyboard on the big screen. Each table plugs in its own numbers.
At home
Your son handwrites an equation and watches it turn into neat notation. He checks his answer against it.
