PhotoMath potentially provides a helpful way for students to check their work, but the technology is spotty at this point and the app could do more harm than good. The app enables students to use an iPhone to take a picture of a simple problem, and the app provides the answer and the step by step solution. This app has the potential benefit of helping struggling students understand the approach when an instructor is not available, and giving other students the opportunity to check their work to confirm their understanding. They also have the risk that students use them to avoid doing the work on their own, so parents should always monitor children's use of this app. PhotoMath has the added burden that students might have difficulty focusing the camera above the problem which can take time and cause frustration. In addition, there are cases where the app provides the incorrect answer, a risk not worth taking while a student is still learning. Even when correct, the step by step solutions do not provide the level of detail that struggling students might need. Students might also find the navigation buttons confusing. While PhotoMath might have potential to be a helpful homework aid as the technology is perfected, the current version could potentially frustrate, distract and mislead students.
