A Wiki for Math Teachers
| Create Your Own Pages | EdoBoard |
If you want to try your hand at it, I want you to begin with confidence, so rest assured:
- You can't hurt anything! (Unless maybe you're a professional hacker)
- Almost everything can be done with "Copy-n-Paste".
- We have a place called a "SandBox." As implied by the name, it's a place for you to play and learn. Cool, Huh?
- If it makes you feel any better, I just started learning wiki syntax sometimes around April of '07. I'm not that far ahead of you.
So, whattya waitin' for? Every page has an "edit" link. Take a look at the page. Click on the edit link and you'll see the code that creates each item on the page. Most of the stuff will be pretty self-explanatory.
A real good place to start would be on the links pages to the left. Add to these pages with your favorite web-sites.
For more detailed help, click on the "SandBox" link or the "PMWiki" links to the left.
EdoBoard is a fantastic tool for online discussions of any subject but specifically mathematics and science. EdoBoard has built-in video conferencing capabilities, a LaTeX equation editor, ready made geometric shapes, and a graphing calculator. With many other features, it is a "must see"!

Through little effort of my own, I am proud to announce that we can now place graphs in a wiki page at the press of a button. Not only graphs, but we can plot points, draw lines, circles, ellipses, closed figures, and functions. There are many people to thank for this work, but I would highly encourage everyone to drop Dr. Peter Jipsen of Chapman University, a note of gratitude.

Now this is COOL!
An editable, online spreadsheet.
Go ahead, change the numbers in column A and watch the box-n-whiskers plot change on the fly.
I recently installed a new recipe, the "showhide" funtion, and here's how it works.
What is the the color of George Washington's white horse?
