How to Make Studying for Maths Easy with a Math Solver

As a professor, I get it, maths is hard.

As a previous student and a current teacher of students, I know the struggle. To lighten the load on your math studies and get better grades, the "trick" is to use all the tools that are available to you out there.

Math can be tough, but with the help of AI helpers (yes students, I'm aware these things exist 😂), it doesn’t have to be. I know this because in my recent years teaching in high schools and colleges, I've seen even my worst performing students turn their academic results around in just a semester; I couldn't help but start my own little investigation into how these neat applications work.

Today, I'll explain how AI (when used correctly) can serve as an instrument to your study success. Let's get started.

Step 1: Decide What Tool You're Going to Use

First things first, with the plethora of tools out there, you might be wondering: "Which one do I go with?" Now while it might be tempting to just use ChatGPT, snip an image, paste it and have it solve your question, I've found that generally it struggles with accuracy especially when it comes to more complex questions (and sometimes even very easy ones).

The good news? Here at CollegeTools, we've developed a Chrome Extension that's more accurate, cheaper, and actually integrates into your learning platform.

Step 2: Input Your Question into the Tool Properly

Start by getting your problem into the system. Most math solver tools let you either type in the question or upload a picture. If you're typing, make sure you're using the right symbols and formatting – the AI is smart, but it's not a mind reader!

If you're uploading, make sure the image is clear and well-lit. Blurry photos can confuse the AI, and you'll end up with a wrong answer (or no answer at all). Think of it like showing your work to a teacher; the clearer it is, the better they can understand it.

Step 3: Actually Read the Step-by-Step Explanations

This is where a math AI solver really shines. It's not just about getting the quick fix, it's about understanding how to get there. The great thing about these tools is that you get the actual "working out" process of the solution, so you can actually deeply understand the fundamentals (assuming you don't just skip to the final answer)!

Take the time to read through the steps and appreciate the logic behind each one. It's like learning to ride a bike – you can't just jump on and expect to know how; you need to be cognizant of the mechanics of balancing and pedaling.

"I feel like I'm cheating... What do I do?

Using an ai math solver doesn't equate to cheating or taking shortcuts, in fact, the Office of Educational Technology (OET) actively "encourages the development and use of EdTech". It's about using what's available to enhance your learning and make math more accessible. It's a tool, and like any tool, it's only as effective as the person using it.

Step 4: Apply Your Learnings to Similiar Situations

Because these explanations break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable steps, it's super helpful in familiarizing yourself with the underlying concepts. Plus, seeing the steps broken down helps you avoid making the same mistakes in the future, so there's that added benefit.

The CollegeTools' Chrome extension helps turn simple answers into in-depth understanding. It lets you highlight question text directly, giving you the same level of guidance a real-life tutor would, and really helps you become a master at whatever math topic you're working on.
