..When it comes to engaging students,format plays far more of an important role than the content according to a research conducted by the leading US textbook publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.A growing number of researchers are uncovering evidence that students are better able to remember what they read in printed textbooks…MathDisk could play a vital role in bridging this divide as it brings the format of traditional textbook like appearance on worksheet using its equation editor, multi-graph sheet  and free form  layout capabilities…
