Create a Handwriting environment for both text and Math

I would like to create an environment that would allow me to have parts of a document in "Handwriting mode".
So the objective would be to be able to type the following in the source code :
beginHandwriting
This text should look like it is Hand written
$This cdot equation = as times well$
endHandwriting
from another thread I tried
usepackagemathpazo
usepackage[version=3]mhchem
usepackageamsmath
usepackagesiunitx
newenvironmentHandwritingfontfamilyaugieselectfontpar
but this does not help for the equation.
I suspect the use of the mathastext package could help but I did not figure out how yet.
Bonus question that makes matters a bit more complicated is : would it be possible to use the "Chalkduster" font instead of "augie" ?
Thank you for you help,

Skillmon, thank you, I just found it a bit difficult to use the newfontfamily command right. I did the following : newfontfamilyChalk[Chalkduster.ttf] and then it was easy enough to use, somewhere in the document : Chalk This text is an imitation of a Chalkdust-written text But as I tried to use the font in a new environment (my "Handwriting" environment for example), the compiling time started to take ages.

Example with mathastext:
documentclassarticle
usepackagemathpazo
usepackage[version=3]mhchem
usepackageamsmath
usepackagesiunitx
usepackage[subdued]mathastext% no italic for Augie anyhow
MTfamilyaugie
Mathastext[augie]
newenvironmentHandwritingMTversionaugiepar
begindocument
This test is normal, and math too ($x^n+y^n = z^n$).
beginHandwriting
This text should look like it is Hand written.
This equation as well:
[x^n + y^n = z^n]
endHandwriting

@ClémentMoissard glad it helps. I realize that compared to French Cursive the Augie font has glyphs for +, -, =, which is satisfying here. As explained by mathastext doc, big symbols however (sums, products, integrals) of course remain the ones specified by other packages.
– jfbu

Yep, that is why I am trying to get the Chalkduster to work (which does have cool big symbols), but still without success. Quite frustratingly, when I add usepackagefontspec newfontfamilyChalk[Chalkduster.ttf] just at the beginning of your code, even the augie formatting disappears

Just to really push the idea, I found that it is quite easy to add a background color to the environment, for example : definecolorfloralwhitergb1.0, 0.98, 0.94 newenvironmentHandwriting MTversionaugie beginmdframed[backgroundcolor=floralwhite] par endmdframed But would it be possible to add lines ? The idea would be for the text to look as if it was handwritten on a school-type sheet of paper, with lines. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/188164/… answers for the full document
