Calculate the distance an object falls in a given time under gravity on various planets.
QuestionStudents need to substitute a value into an equation and solve it. The equation constant (gravity) and the value (time) are both randomised.

Maximising the area of a rectangle
QuestionStudents explore the relationship between length and area of a rectangle.
The perimeter of the rectangle is randomised. Students are given 11 different lengths, and asked to compute rectangle width and area for each. They are then asked to graph the function, identify it as a parabola, and estimate the maximum value.

Algebraic simultaneous equations
QuestionStudents are given 2 equations of the form y=mx+b and asked to solve them using either the substitution or the elimination method. The lines are randomised but the solution coordinates are always integers.

word problem using graphical simultaneous equations 2.
QuestionStudents are shown to intersecting lines in the context of comparing the costs of services from two companies. They are asked to identify the y-intercept, the gradients, the point of intersection and are asked to interpret the graphs in the context of the word problem.

linear depreciation from graph
QuestionStudents are shown a graph of the value of a machine over time. The line equation is randomised.
They are asked to evaluate value at a given time, and the time at which a given value is reached. They are asked when the machine has no value, and the range of times over which the model is valid. They are also asked to explain the physical meaning of the gradient.

base income and commission
QuestionStudents are shown a graph and, in the context of a word problem, are asked to find the gradient and the y-intercept, to read points from the graph, and to identify the correct equation for the graph.

Graph a line from a word problem
QuestionStudents are given a word problem and are asked to construct a line equation, evaluate it at a given point, and graph the line.
The line parameters and the given point are randomised.

Write a linear equation and graph it from a word problem.
QuestionStudents are given a word problem with the distance travelled and the time taken by a cyclist. They need to choose the correct form for the linear equation, compute the gradient, and plot the line.
The distance travelled and time taken are randomised.
Speed, distance and time are all integer values.

Graph a line
QuestionStudents are given a line equation in the form y=mx+b and asked to graph it.
m and b are randomised.
The question is not auto-marked, students need to "reveal answers" to see a sample graph that they can compare to their own.
