Saved a checkpoint:
Good question!
It seems you didn't know about display mode maths while writing the advice: enclose maths in
\[and\]instead of dollar signs to place it at the centre of its own line with a good margin.

I've fixed the variables so that part e) will simplify if it needs to in the advice. I also changed the variables slightly in part b) to avoid ever having square numbers under the roots.
Lauren Richards commented 7 years, 5 months ago
I've randomised parts e) and f) now too but having problems with getting e) to finally simplify. Vicky would you mind having a look at this please? I've written THIS NEEDS TO SIMPLIFY next to the issue!
As a result of not getting it simplified, I haven't set the correct answers yet.

I've randomised parts a) to d).

Advice:
a) The advice for part a does not match the question. You could also possibly show another method of multiplying by the denominator to realise the bottom; I could be overcomplicating it with this alternative method, so it is up to you.
b) I would put the 12 in '12 is the denominator' in math mode. Not sure what the last line means I think it is suppose to read $\frac{\sqrt{ab}}{1}$ but reads as $\frac{\sqrt{ab}}{[1,1,1,1,1]}$.
c) Is good
d) There could be some confusing with the wording, "this is the denominator with a changed sign." It could be interpretted as the whole denominator changing signs; I would possibly change it to the rational term sign changed, or something to that effect.
Aiden McCall commented 7 years, 5 months ago
a) On my first attempt of the question, I had received the same question for parts i) & ii). This can be fixed with except in your random variables so the same two values do not occur.
b) Everything fine.
c) I'm not sure if you need a semi-colon if you have an 'and' as this does not create two main clauses. When testing this question it always came up as the same values also. It would be more beneficial for someone practising to have a randomising example everytime.
d) Personally I think the question could be presented as "Express [equation] in the form $a \sqrt{b} + m$ where a, b and m are integers or something of that nature. I also think the answer is incorrect and not displayed as one of the options. $\frac{4}{(\sqrt{3}-2)}=-8-4\sqrt{3}&. The question is also not randomised so comes up the same each time.
e),f) both not randomised so the student cannot try another like this and get different values.

I have put all of the questions about rationalising the denominator together.
I didn't know how to enact your feedback for part e) in the previous question (which is now part b) in this question). It was "I got $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}}$ which it expected me to write as $\frac{\sqrt{18}}{3}$. I'd write that as just $\sqrt{2}$. Can you set it up so there's only one way of writing it? Making sure the top and bottom of the original fraction are coprime might do it."

For each combination of answer and choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.
For each combination of answer and choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.
Test that the marking algorithm works
Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.
Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.
There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:
This is an extension type part. There is no expected answer, and it's assumed that the marking depends on interactions within the part's prompt.
You can test this part's marking algorithm by interacting with the rendering of the part's prompt below.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.
To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.
In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.
| Variable | Answer to use | Must be answered? | |

The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:
These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
This part can't be reached by the student.
Add a "next part" reference to this part from another part.
