Using the Canvas

The Canvas gives students a flexible workspace to solve problems, organize their thinking, and show their mathematical reasoning.

Written by Stephanie

The Canvas is where students show their mathematical thinking while solving problems. Students can write, draw, move objects, and add problem content to organize their work.

Show Your Work

Students can use the Canvas to:

  • write and draw

  • sketch diagrams and models

  • annotate problems

  • organize their solution strategies

Student work is saved automatically while completing an assignment.


Move and Organize Your Work

Students can use the Select tool to organize their work on the Canvas. With the Select tool, students can:

  • move and resize objects

  • select multiple objects at once

  • move groups of objects together

  • delete multiple objects at the same time

To select multiple objects, drag a selection box around them or hold Shift while selecting individual objects.

Students can use the Select tool to interact with objects on the Canvas.

Using the Select tool, students can:

  • move objects

  • resize objects

  • reposition work to better organize their solution

Add Problem Text and Images

Students can add problem text and images directly to the Canvas using the Paste button.

This makes it easier to reference important information while solving a problem, especially for students who prefer not to drag or manually copy content.

To paste text or an image:

  1. Open the problem description or image.

  2. Click Paste.

  3. The content will appear on the Canvas, where it can be moved and resized as needed.
