Exercise templates with Sage

Abstract

As the literature points out, students can benefit from the study of a detailed answer of an exercise after trying to solve it in a traditional pen-and-paper way. This encouraged the creation of a new software package for the growing community of Sage users. Thus, this package aims at enabling the author to add, change and delete parameterized exercise templates, with detailed answer, from one or more personal databases. Moreover, it allows the production of new exercises in a booklet style or exam form.

This paper describes the package, presenting some examples of its functionalities.
