Tech Tip: Instant Math in Microsoft OneNote
Microsoft OneNote supports the use of math functions directly on a page. This is extremely helpful for group math projects and assignments. Below is the list of available math functions and their usage. Type the equation as it appears, followed by an = (“equals sign”), followed by Enter. The answer will appear next to or underneath the equation.
Thus, if you type “3+3=” and press Enter, OneNote will display “3+3=6”.
