If you come up with anything else that you think might be helpful, please add it to the page!

• Another super-cool thing you can add to your page: a video you can make showing how to write out (and talk through, if you choose) a solution. It's called Sketchcast. Here's what I did.

• Here's how you can talk to people who are also on the same wiki page you are (might be helpful if you're working on something with a partner!). Check it out.

• Ok, so it looks like webgraphing isn't working too great right now... try this one: gcalc

1. Click on GCalc 3 and double click on "Graph Plugin".

2. Enter your equation and graph it.

3. Go to Edit, Copy Graph, and paste it into Paint.

4. In Paint, Save it (as a .jpeg) and you can then insert it ("Insert Image") onto your page.

• If you would like to include graphs (and a lot of you should!), a good website to try out is webgraphing. Scroll down and select a calculator type, then type in your equation. Once you've graphed the equation, right-click on it and select save. Make sure to save it as a .jpg. Then on your page, go to Insert Image, upload your graph, and save. I don't think that copying and pasting preserves the graph for future views.

• I found what I think will be an easy way to insert fractions/radicals/etc. Go here Once you get your expression, just right-click on it, copy, and paste on your page.

Other options:

• If you need to use fractions or radicals (or anything else that needs some mathematical formatting), type it in Word using Equation Editor or the drawing tools. (If you're at school, go to view, tool bars, customize, insert... find Equation Editor and drag it up to your toolbar). The icon should look like a square root of a. After you've created your expression or drawing, copy it and paste it into Paint. Save this image as a .jpg, then you can choose "Insert image", upload your image, and paste it onto your screen.

****Note: Before you save the image as a .jpg, adjust the size of your paint screen. Go to "Image" and "Attributes" to make the screen smaller (or just grab the toolbars if you can). Otherwise, when you insert the image onto your wiki page, it will be a huge window and a teeny tiny image.

• Another cool option for entering radicals or fractions is a program called LaTex. (Check out the "Fractions and Roots" section.) Where you'd like to insert your symbol, click on "Insert Plugin" and choose "PBWiki Magic" and "Equation". You can then type in what you want in the box.

For example, I'd like to show the fraction of (2x - 5) divided by (x + 3). Using LaTex, I'd type frac{numerator}{denominator} , so it will look like frac{2x-5}{x+3}

Here's the result:

Precalc people: to enter pi, it's just pi
