Since teachers are busy developing creative lessons, MATHguide is providing teachers with automated exercise sheets. Teachers can choose the number of desired problems and MATHguide will print up a random list of problems. There are sheets for two different types of factoring problems and systems of linear equations.
While we were creating the perl scripts for the exercise sheets, we also cleaned up the factoring quizmasters (a = 1 and a > 1). They now include a difference of two squares.
Monday, January 31st, 2005:
A complete quizmaster section was added on polynomials. Now, students can check for understanding on addition, subtraction, and multiplication using binomials and trinomials.
Monday, January 17th, 2005:
Many of the headers on our pages have been updated so that navigation is a tad easier. Also, these pages hold a link to a new section -- a search page. The search page can be used to search the contents of MATHguide and it can also be used to search the entire Internet through Google.

There are a number of organizations that are accepting money for Tsunami relief. Many organizations keep a disproportional amount of money for operating costs, which include paying salaries for those who lead the organization. Operation USA boasts 100% of its donations go to the affected regions. In a 2003 Report, Operation USA used 1.2% of its donations for administrative and fundraising costs. Visit Operation USA to donate now.

MATHguide has opened a new section: Research Materials. The page contains a storehouse of research articles, presentations, lessons, and external links related to education. There are helpful stratgies for dealing with technology, Gardner's multiple intelligence model, and more.
Tuesday, December 14th, 2004:
There are some updates to report. The quizmaster for quadratic equations has been updated to produce neater output for the equation. There are no more problems dealing with negative numbers. Also, a scientific calculator has been added to MATHguide to help students work with the quadratic formula.
Wednesday, October 20th, 2004:
Our Teacher Resources section has been updated to include a link to a section that handles standardized testing in mathematics, called Math Assessment Helper.

Our old board (click here to view it) no longer functions. It can and will be used for reference purposes. New posts will no longer be accepted to it.
However, our new board (click here to use it) is working very well. It requires users to first register to use it. The process takes about two minutes to complete, which is a small price to pay to rid us of spammers and flammers.
Enjoy it.
Friday, August 20th, 2004:
MATHguide was experiencing a number of problems related to our bulletin board system. As a result, we had to put into place procedures to deal with the situation. We still have our old bulletin board but we also have a new and improved bulletin board. To find out all the details related to this event, click here.

There are two new brainteasers on MATHguide: Funky Factors and Congruent Circles.
Monday, May 3rd, 2004:
Now there are three review games located on our teacher resource page. There is Math Baseball, Math Football, and Math Jeopardy. They can be used for any discipline and will involve all students.
Wednesday, April 28th, 2004:
We have added a few teacher resources to our pages. Services include two review games that can be used across all disciplines and links to our graphing calculator and links pages.
Wednesday, March 14th, 2004:
A new free service was added, a graphing device. Now students can graph functions without the need of purchasing expensive calculators, so long as there is access to the Internet.

Some changes were made to a few quizmasters because they either were not checking answers properly (area of trapezoids) or were not titled properly (volume of pyramids). The trapezoid quizmaster was not able to recognize correct answers, but it did report the correct answers. The checking mechanism was identified and altered. The title was changed on the volume quizmaster.
However, a new feature was added to the area of plane figures section. Now, readers can take a tour of all five figures with ease. They can take a quizmaster area tour!
Sunday, March 7th, 2004:
The quizmasters would not be complete without the lessons for areas of common figures. Find five lessons that explain what area is and derive the various formulas for area.
Saturday, March 6th, 2004:
We have five new quizmasters to report! View our lessons page under two dimensional figures to find quizmasters that will test your ability to calculate area for rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids and circles. More free services offered to the global community, by MATHguide.

Welcome to 2004! Like the regularity of an atomic clock, we have changed our Help Board to reflect the new year. New year = new board. How's that for a cheesy equation. To view the new Help Board, Click Here.

Dr. Mark Shapiro, Professor of Physics at California State University (Fullerton), speaks out on financial policies that practically have students lining up like cattle inside lecture halls. This policy could affect classrooms at all levels across the nation. The name of the piece is So Much for Individual Attention!
Friday, October 10th, 2003:
Two new lessons have been added for solving systems of linear equations: addition method and multiplication/addition method. MATHguide already had a quizmaster for systems of equations, but the quizmaster was beautified to produce negative friendly output.
Tuesday, October 7th, 2003:
There is a new lesson on factoring two different types of quadratic trinomials. The quizmasters on those lessons have been in existence on MATHguide since 1999, but they have been beautified. Enjoy.
Wednesday, September 17th, 2003:
There's a new puzzle to explore and eventually conquer: Circular Logic. It involves conic sections and a system of two equations, three unknowns. Have fun determining your solution. It's one, real, radical solution.
Tuesday, June 24th, 2003:
We have added a new puzzle, called Arcs and Chords and Segments, Oh My! It is a very challenging puzzle that involves a few different areas of mathematics and is appropriate for Geometry students and above.
Thursday, April 3rd, 2003:
Eight new quizmasters have been added!
- The surface area theme on solids that we started on April 2nd wouldn't have been complete without a similar one on spheres. Once the quizmasters were complete for surface area, it was extremely simple to modify them to work for volume too.
- We added two quizmasters to handle determinants of the 2x2 and 3x3 varieties.
