preparing math exams

preparing math exams

[Gour]

Hello,

I wonder what would be recommended way to prepare math exams for primary
school (e.g.  5th to 8th grade) which involves drawing lines, segments,
angles, polygons, circles, drawing functions etc.?

For regular formulas involving e.g. rational numbers, I'm sure that
input language for math is quite sufficient, but wonder about drawing
part?

Sincerely,
Gour

Metapost (Metafun) is your best friend here. You can insert directly in
context some MetaFun code, like this:

\starttext
Lorem Ipsum…

\startMPcode
draw ( (0,0) — (1,0) — (0,1)) with color red ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

Look at this entry in the wiki:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost_in_ConTeXt

Also, you will find a link to the meta fun manual in this page, this a good
place to start !

That example does not work for me, but I've got a clue.

However, someone in other forum suggested me to use GeoGebra - that's
what even math textboooks use here which is interactive and can, amongst
several other formats, export to TikZ, and in the beginning it seems as
quicker/easier start.


Sincerely,
Gour

Also, TikZ, which is more LaTeX-centric, but works with ConTeXt, too (at
least it did when I last tried ConTeXt a few years ago).

Hth,
