Introducing MathyTaffy: Your All-in-One Math Homework Tool
MathyTaffy is a web app built for students who want a smarter way to complete, visualize, and submit their math assignments. It combines a handwriting canvas, AI-powered conversion, interactive graphing, and Word document export into one seamless experience.
Handwriting Canvas
Write your math problems directly on screen using a touch-friendly digital canvas designed for tablets, iPads, and desktops. Choose from multiple pen colors (black, blue, red, green), adjust stroke sizes, and use the eraser when you need to make corrections. Undo, redo, and clear controls are always within reach. Each problem gets its own page, and you can add as many pages as you need. Navigate between them using the thumbnail bar at the top.
AI-Powered Conversion
When you are done writing, tap Convert to Text. MathyTaffy uses AI vision to read your handwriting across all pages and convert it into clean, structured text with proper mathematical formatting. You get a full preview with rendered equations before exporting. Edit anything that needs adjusting, then download everything as a single Word document ready for submission.
Graphing Lab (Powered by Desmos)
MathyTaffy includes a full interactive graphing section built with the real Desmos calculator API. This is not a simplified clone. It is the actual Desmos graphing engine embedded directly in the app, complete with equation entry, the math keypad, zoom controls, and settings.
The Graphing Lab has two modes:
Explorer Mode is a completely open sandbox. Type any equation, add sliders, plot points, and experiment freely. There are no prompts, no structure, and no pressure. Just you and the graph. Perfect for building intuition or exploring ideas before tackling an assignment.
Assignment Mode offers structured exercises organized by topic. Pick a subject, read the concept overview, and work through guided problems that auto-load starter equations and interactive sliders into the Desmos calculator. Hints are available when you get stuck.
Seven Topic Areas Covering Pre-Calculus Through Calculus
- Function Basics: Linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, and piecewise functions. Learn to identify key features like domain, range, intercepts, and end behavior.
- Transformations: Vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, reflections, and stretches. Interactive sliders let you see f(x) + k, f(x - h), and a times f(x) change in real time.
- Trigonometry: Graph sine, cosine, and tangent. Explore amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift using sliders on the general form.
- Exponential and Logarithmic: Study growth, decay, and log functions. Visualize how exponentials and logarithms are inverses of each other.
- Limits and Continuity: Approach values graphically, identify holes, asymptotes, and one-sided limits. See what happens as x approaches specific values.
- Derivatives: Plot a function alongside its derivative. Use the tangent line explorer to drag a point along a curve and watch the slope change. Find critical points and explore concavity.
- Integrals: Shade areas under curves, build Riemann sums with adjustable partitions, and visualize the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Each topic includes six exercises with concept overviews, guided prompts, and hints for the trickier problems.
Capture and Export Your Work
When you have a graph you are happy with, hit Capture to screenshot it directly from the Desmos calculator. Each captured graph gets its own card in the sidebar where you can add notes, explanations, or solution write-ups. When you are finished, you have two export options:
- Download as a Word document with your graph images embedded alongside your notes, formatted and ready to submit
- Download individual graph images as PNG files
Assignment Workflow Summary
- Open the Graphing Lab from the main workspace
- Choose Explorer Mode to experiment or Assignment Mode to work through structured problems
