Continuous Formula Matrix The students will use their matrix as a reference for all the formulas they are responsible for knowing. This can be a useful resource for students when studying for cumulative finals. 1. Create a spreadsheet before your first SI session, and email it out to the students. Encourage the students to print out a copy or bring their laptop to fill in new formulas every week. 2. Use the matrix as an introduction to your session or right before beginning a worksheet. The matrix can be used as a review to prepare the students to answer example problems. 3. Pull up a copy of the matrix for the course on the overhead. Ask the students to help you fill in any new formulas they have learned. Also have a cheat sheet matrix completed for yourself, so you can make sure all the required formulas are covered. 4. Allow the students to fill in the last column (Topic/Example Questions) as they are working on the example problems in groups or individually. 5. Depending on the course and formulas used, the “Name” column may not always be filled in. Always modify the matrix to suit your course best. 6. Under the “variables” column, put what each variable represents. You can also add what unit the final answer should be in. An example spreadsheet for a math based class may look like the following: Name Formula Variables Topic/ Example Questions You can also modify the spreadsheet to meet the needs of other classes. Here is an example chemistry spreadsheet that can be used for common compounds. This can be a tool for naming compounds, writing formulas, reviewing ions, and identifying types of compounds. Compound Name Formula Characteristics of Ions ( Name, Charge, M/NM) Type of Compound
