Click on the link below to utilize the Equation Response Editor tool tutorial. Why? Because students will be using this tool to enter answers that are numbers, expressions, or equations.  Important things to remember:

1. The tool is not a calculator—it will not perform calculations for you. The tool is designed to allow you to enter your answer to a question.
2. Remember students can enter answers using the keyboard, the on-screen keypad, or a combination of both. As you practice, and your students practice, you may want to decide which method is most comfortable for your students, and focus on creating answers that way.
