Interactive PDF Documents in Math Education Focused on Tests for Differential Equations

The progress of blended learning has given rise to the need to prepare quality electronic materials, especially those which use the greatest advantage of an electronic document – its interactivity. This
paper presents several types of PDF materials – interactive exercises, tests and games created by LaTeX packages (AcroTeX eDucation Bundle) with a contribution of other supporting instruments (3D graphics, fancytooltips, AcroFLeX). Differential equations, as an important tool of continuous mathematical modeling, have been chosen to demonstrate the still increasing power of PDF documents. This strategy allowed me to introduce innovative approaches in explaining and exercising this part of mathematics at the same time. To create such materials some LaTeX knowledge is needed; nevertheless this article is for all math teachers who are looking for quality interactive materials.
