Magma Math allows students to take photos of their handwritten work and upload them directly to the canvas. This makes it easier for students to show their thinking and for teachers to see the full solution process.
When students take a photo, the image is automatically scanned and cropped. This helps hide student faces and ensures the uploaded work looks neat and organized. Students do not need to hold the paper while pressing a button to take the photo, which makes capturing the work faster and more accurate.
The feature works best on vertical white papers with minimal hand coverage. Once the photo is taken, it is immediately added to the drawboard, giving teachers full visibility of the student’s work alongside their digital answers.
While lighting, internet connection, and how the paper is handled can affect the scan, feedback from early use will be used to improve recognition. Over time, scans will become even clearer, creating a more seamless experience for students and teachers.
This feature also supports students who prefer working on paper while submitting answers digitally, giving teachers more insight into their problem-solving process and creating additional instructional value.
