|
|
Blinder Conceal the screen to reveal canvas sections in a controlled manner. This technique can help maintain audience focus during presentations. |
|
|
Math input panel Write mathematical formulas and symbols using a pen tool. Subsequently, you can also insert your work onto the canvas as formatted text. |
|
|
XY Graph Plot lines on the digital graph paper to illustrate mathematical concepts. This will give you a visual representation of the functions you're discussing. |
|
|
