This article is intended to justify the possibility for promoting interactions in exercise lessons of Mathematics Education by using tests and to clarify manners for doing it.

Introduction Because of the conflict between the requirements of society with current in- adequate teaching methods a campaign to innovate teaching methods at all levels in the education system has been raised and promoted for the past several years.
