My kid is doing prealgebra now online (AoPS). When she's on an iPad Pro, she uses the Apple Pencil in the Notes app, side-by-side with the AoPS window. When she's on a non-Pro iPad she uses pencil and paper.
I assume kids will use scratch paper with the SAT, along with calculators.

My kid loves doing LateX on AoPS, for some reason. I guess it will be useful if she's still doing online math when she gets to higher levels (it's not really necessary for prealgebra).
- burnished 3y agoDue to wrist injuries I used to type and turn in printed copies of my homework for a variety of math heavy engineering classes. It was quite nice once I got used to it especially because it reduced the friction of fixing a mistake and reduced the cost of including connecting or explanatory prose statements. It really improved the quality of my written work (especially the diagrams and the greek letters). Anyway, I just got excited because I hadn't heard of anyone else doing that, I hope it remains a useful technique for your daughter for her classes.
- RheingoldRiver 3y agoIt was pretty common at my uni to TeX math & physics problem sets, I had phases of doing both depending on my mood. I usually felt that the one I wasn't currently accustomed to made me more careful, so as TeX-ing became too easy I'd handwrite, as my handwriting deteriorated I'd go back to TeX.
