Exercise Catalog Guide
The exercise catalog is the main place to find, reuse, organize, and revisit exercises in MathMatize.
Use the catalog navigation to move between the main content areas:
- Topics groups public catalog exercises by subject area and subtopic.
- Textbooks organizes public catalog exercises around textbook chapters and sections.
- All Exercises shows published community exercises that can be browsed and duplicated.
- Created by Me is your working library for drafts, published exercises, and exercises you own.
- Team Catalogs lets you create focused collections and collaborate with other instructors.
- Bookmarks keeps a short list of exercises you saved while browsing.
- Catalog Search explains search modes, operators, filters, and how to troubleshoot missing results.
Choosing Where to Start
The fastest path is to start in the part of the catalog that matches your goal.
Goal | Start Here |
|---|---|
| Browse broadly by subject | Topics |
| Follow a textbook structure | Textbooks |
| Search all published community exercises | All Exercises |
| Find something you created or drafted | Created by Me |
| Organize exercises for a course, unit, team, or project | Team Catalogs |
| Return to exercises you saved for later | Bookmarks |
Search and Filters
Search and filters work inside the catalog page you currently have open. If you switch from All Exercises to Created by Me, the same search term can return different results because the page is searching a different set of exercises.
Use Catalog Search for details on:
- switching between Default, Boolean, and Natural Language search
- exact phrase searches with quotes
- excluding terms with
- - prefix matching with
* - combining search with filters
- troubleshooting too many, too few, or no results
Tips When You Cannot Find Something
- Check that you are on the right catalog page.
- Clear filters and search again.
- Use Created by Me when looking for drafts or unpublished work.
- Use All Exercises when looking for published community exercises.
- Use Topics or Textbooks when you know the subject area but not the exact exercise wording.
- If you saved the exercise earlier, check Bookmarks.
FAQ
Why can I find an exercise in Created by Me but not in All Exercises?
The exercise may still be a draft. Only published exercises are eligible to appear in All Exercises.
Should I use search or topic browsing first?
If you know words that appear in the exercise, start with search. If you know the subject but not the wording, start with Topics or Textbooks.
