UIL Practice Website

[nsguy1350]

My coach and I were talking about how to build a good team, specifically in NS. My coach came up with an idea, that I think is very possible and would help, but would require some programming and time. He was thinking of having a website where you could go and link to a bunch of pages that are similar to Zetamac, where you practice problems, but you can pick which problems to practice. For example, one exercise might deal with positive integral divisors, while another might deal with a multiplication technique.

I thought about it today, and I think I could even find the time to post small, short instructional videos as well. I could do a video where I show how to do a problem, work out an example, etc. I think that would be a good tool for our UIL program. If I limit the videos to a couple of minutes, then I could do some whenever I get the time, and they would accumulate to the point where I can cover many topics on the NS test (and later Math, Calculator, and even some other events as well, possibly.)

Any advice on how we could carry this out, or if there is a better option? I probably could knock out a big chunk of this during the summer, when I have some free time.

One already exists: Dr. Numsen's

It has a Drill Master feature (Java powered) that lets you choose what topic and practice it for Number Sense.

I don't see it. Plus, I'd like to add to it, so writing my own might be better.

You have to pay to access it.

Free is always best, especially for schools with very limited UIL Academics budgets.

I suspected that there was a fee involved... that #.
