[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I'm the PP whose daughter has dysgraphia. For those looking for math help:

The math app that has been most helpful for us has been Panther Math.  (Maybe that's the company and the product is called Math Paper.)  You can view a demo video here:
http://panthertechnology.com/#video/2/

Shortly after she started using PantherMath, the handwriting OT we'd used discovered http://www.modmath.com/ -- it looks very similar to PantherMath, so if I were exploring things now I might try this free one first before buying the $20 PantherMath.

The handwriting OT also suggested MathPad Plus as one we could try, but it was $100  and DD said she preferred the looks of PantherMath anyway.  (DD also pointed out that while MathPad Plus has a calculator function that can be turned off, PantherMath seemed better to her b/c it didn't have a calculator at all--so no concerns about future teachers saying she couldn't use it during a test.)

Re the question about "which school?"--I hope it's OK that I wandered back onto the private school forum--she is actually much happier now in the Inspired Teaching public charter school. I definitely don't want to incite public vs. private wars--there are great experiences to be had at both--but so far (3 weeks in) this has been a better fit for us.

Strength & good wishes to us all!
