Khan Academy Exercises Wiki

Welcome to the wiki for the exercise framework powering khanacademy.org's exercises.

Note

Khan-exercises is no longer used for development of new exercises at Khan Academy. We're always looking to improve the exercises that are currently built with khan-exercises, but at this time we don't intend to add new exercises to it. Instead, new exercises are stored in a data-store and built with Perseus.
