🔍 Finding Exercises From Specific Sources
What This Tool Does
This tool searches for mathematics exercises on specific topics from open-source collections that you identify. It's particularly useful when you know about a valuable exercise collection but don't have time to manually search through it to find exercises that match your specific requirements.
How To Use The Input Fields
Math Topic
What to input: Enter the specific math topic you need exercises for.
Example inputs: "Calculating missing sides using the Pythagorean Theorem," "Solving systems of linear equations," "Fractions with unlike denominators"
How it affects results: This will be the primary search criterion used to find relevant exercises within your specified source.
Grade Level
What to input: Select the grade level for which you need exercises.
How it affects results: This helps narrow down exercises that are appropriate for your students' level of understanding. The tool will try to match exercises to this grade level within your specified topic.
Country
What to input: Enter the country where your students attend school.
Example inputs: "Germany," "India," "UK," "Hungary"
How it affects results: This helps the tool interpret the source name in the correct regional context, as some collections may have different names or versions in different countries.
Source
What to input: Specify the name of the open-source exercise collection you want to search within.
Example inputs: "Illustrative Mathematics," "Khan Academy Exercises," "OpenStax"
Important note: The source must be open source and accessible for automated searching. Private or restricted collections cannot be accessed by this tool.
How it affects results: The tool will only search within this specific collection rather than across all available resources.
What Results You'll Receive
After processing your request, you'll receive one of two types of outcomes:
If the source cannot be found or accessed:
A message explaining that the specified source could not be located or is not accessible for automated searching.
If exercises are found:
Multiple exercises matching your search criteria, each including:
A title
A description of the exercise
A direct link to where it was found in the source
Tags indicating which of your search criteria are met by each exercise
Note about search accuracy: Some exercises may match your topic but could be from different grade levels than requested. The tags will clearly indicate which criteria each exercise meets, helping you quickly identify the most suitable options.
