More teachers are equipping their classrooms with little keypads — often called clickers — that let students instantly, and anonymously, answer questions. Teachers say the clickers are improving the quality of education by measuring how engaged students are in the material they are learning.

The tool supports everything from basic arithmetic through algebra. We tried to get the most useful question types supported, and we'd love to hear from you about what we got right and what we need to work on. It's built on top of the foundation from Microsoft Math, so we had a lot to start with. Use the Discussion forums or the Feedback link below to let us know what you think.
