Walters ModMath is an app that helps students of all
grade levels learn math in an inclusive and easy-
to-use program. ModMath also has the option to
print out students’ work so that they do not need
to use a pencil and paper. This app is helpful for
students with different kinds of disabilities, and

There is a free option (Starter) with limited use. The next step up is $8/month (Business) with a free
14-day trial. They have a top package (Enterprise) that is truly unlimited, but you have to contact
the website for pricing. 

The software allows you to record your screen and a short video together. I think this would be a
great tool for any teacher to help walk students through lessons easily with visuals while explaining
them to students. I also think it would be a great use for when you are out sick and there is a
substitute teacher in. You can record yourself before with lessons and steps for the students, and it
would be like you are there teaching the lesson while you are out. They could replay it as many
times as they wanted to make sure they know exactly what is expected and needed for the
assignment.
