Equation Editor Item Tutorial When students are taking the
math test there is a pad that looks a lot like a calculator. Not only is
it NOT a calculator, it has some tricky ways to create fractions and
exponents. It would be wise to work through this tutorial in class with
your students before taking them to the lab to practice on their own.

Try it yourself first.
On this page the introduction reads: Hello! The
purpose of this tutorial is to explain how to use the Equation Response Editor
tool, and to let you practice using it. You will be using this tool to enter
answers that are numbers, expressions, or equations.
- The tool is not a calculator—it will not perform calculations for you. The tool is designed to allow you to enter your answer to a question.
- You can enter your answer using your keyboard, the on-screen keypad, or a combination of both. As you practice, you may want to decide which method is most comfortable for you, and focus on creating your answers that way.
Suggestion:
- Work through the steps that are grade level appropriate before sending them to the lab. Some students tend to not listen once they are in the computer lab.
Accountability:
- You may have students write down what they did on an index card so they stay focused.
