Prep time often dies on formulas—fighting Word layout or bouncing between apps. Keeping “write math” and “see the idea” on one site cuts some of that friction.
One lesson, three moves
-
Skeleton
In the formula editor, insert this lesson’s key lines—definitions, theorems, example steps—from the toolbar or library. -
Make it clear
Graphs, geometry, parameter effects: project visualization and drag while you talk. -
Land in the handout
After a LaTeX check, paste into slides or worksheets. Reuse the same expressions in a question bank or review sheet.
By lesson type
New content: board-level formulas + interactive figures.
Problem set: change parameters for variants.
Review: gather the unit’s key lines on one page.
Templates first for structure, then numbers; use the LaTeX bar for messy derivations. If students use the browser version, put the editor link on the worksheet for after-class practice.
Start with the hardest expression in today’s lesson—get that right before the rest.
