After practicing problems for a while, you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. You'll gain a better understanding of the underlying concepts by applying them to different scenarios.
After practicing problems for a while you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. You'll gain a better understanding of the underlying concepts by applying them to different scenarios. Use our web-based templates to generate infinitely many versions of core problems. You can highlight the problem in your browser and copy/paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. Once you've solved the problem, type your answers back into the browser to have your solution graded.
 
Download the Excel file below to use with the web-based templates. In your browser, navigate to the web-based template you want to study and then open the Excel file to the same problem. Highlight the problem in your browser and copy it before pasting using "Match Destination Formatting" into the highlighted cell within the spreadsheet. Voila! You can now solve the new version of the problem in Excel and then type your answer(s) into the browser to grade it. Repeat as many times as you want to practice the problem.

After practicing problems for a while you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. You'll gain a better understanding of the underlying concepts by applying them to different scenarios. Use our web-based templates to generate infinitely many versions of core problems. You can highlight the problem in your browser and copy/paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. Once you've solved the problem, type your answers back into the browser to have your solution graded.
