[Athen] Math Talk and Math Pad

[Nettie Fischer]

Yes, My experience with mathpad is as a basic math program for elementary
school students and/or students who are working on basic math problems,
i.e., add, subtract, divide, etc. I have not seen it used for equations
and/or formula type math problems.
