Photomath: Photo for Answer

(By: Miguel Avengoza and Kathrina Villamorel)

         Snap! Scan! Solve!

In just three steps and in less than three seconds, your hard-to-solve question will be solved by the improvised calculator. Photomath.

       Photomath is an application that guides students in their works especially Mathematics. From the name itself, Photomath snaps and scans different math equations and make the solving process ‘easier’

In Quezon National High School, the presence of this app is very rampant to the students since they use this app to answer and solve math problems but as they use it they happen to gain something good and at the same time, bad. Confidence.

        Students gain confidence with the help of this application, no matter how hard the problem looks like, for them, they see it as an ‘easy grade’, on the other side, there is still a disadvantage of failing on-the-spot tests and recitations since users cannot us this in these kinds of situations.                

      “Photomath makes things simple, kunware di mo masagutan itong problem na to, this application can help, pero if the usage is abused, there are instances na di mo na nagegets yung scina-scan mo at pinipicturan dahil nakarely ka lang sa app na yon”, said Godwin Vincent Avena, after asked about his general comments about Photomath.     

      Although students gain confidence on passing tests and quizzes because of this app, there's still the limitations of using it since relying too much on it will do no good, It does everything for you and specifies the solutions to get the needed answer, Other students also claimed that this application should be used temporarily and for homework only, since too much usage of this app can lead to abuse.

      In math there are instances that you have to simplify, and simplifying comes in a long process, others take an hour-long process, on the other hand photograph solves these in the matter of seconds but the usage includes control.
