Here’s a list of 5 math extensions for Google Chrome which you can use for everything from helping your kids learn math while they’re using their favorite web browser to performing advanced mathematical calculations yourself. We mentioned helping kids learn math, but actually some of the extensions that we talked about here can be of assistance to more advanced mathematicians.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in middle school, high school or college, these extensions can only help you out get better grades and pass that un-passable exam that’s been giving you headaches at school.

We’re gonna start things off with one of those math extensions that we said is aimed at slightly more advanced users.

You can’t be a mathematician without having a calculator extension installed into Chrome.
Cloudy Calculator is exactly that. With it you can easily perform advanced calculations and if by some chance it doesn’t know the answer to a math problem that you type into it, it’s gonna turn to Google and its famous in-search calculator for help. To solve a problem just type into the field at the bottom and hit the return key. Results are gonna be showed in the large box that takes up most of the extension. Problems can be typed using the standard math syntax, square root is for example, “sqrt4”.
