Presentations with Beamer
It isn’t the only such package, but by far the most widely used/widely recommended LaTeX presentation package is beamer.cls (originally Till Tantau, 2003: maintained by Vedran Miletić and Joseph Wright 2024).
The Beamer manual is long and complicated (reflecting the power and flexibility of the package). There is a really minimal old LaTeX for Logicians User Guide to the absolute basics.
Here’s another shorter guide, by Norm Matloff. And here’s a quick tutorial. There are links to further tutorials on this Wikipedia Beamer page.

The Beamer theme that I use islogictheme.sty.
Problem sets
probsoln.sty (Nicola Talbot, 2000-17): simple package for generating problems sheets – and answer sheets – by selecting from problems and solutions defined in another file).
exercise.sty (Paul Pichaureau 2004-14): flexible package for setting out exercises/answers in various documents.
exam.sty (Philip Hirschhorn 1994-2023): a nice option if you want to maintain a single document which, with a single toggle, both prints a preamble-and-exercises set, and a set of exercises-and-solutions.
xsim.sty (Clemens Niederberger, 2017–22) is another option for creating exercises and the corresponding solutions, probably with more features that you will ever need.
