ClassPad.net is an all-in-one web-based mathematics creation and discovery resource geared for the K-12 level and beyond.

Students and teachers can go to ClassPad.net and draw geometry figures freehand and input calculations as they would on real scratch paper. Creators of digital papers have the freedom to show or hide particular content for instructional purposes, as well as control what information can be edited.
