Question in How-tos
One method of randomly choosing names for variables. For each variable, we have 4 options. Create a list of 4 numbers, which is 1 for the name we want to use, and 0 otherwise.
Then, whenever we use that variable, multiply each of the possible names by the corresponding number in the list. When the expression is simplified, the unwanted names will cancel to 0, leaving only the name we want.
This is quite clunky!
(This question also uses a custom marking script to check that the student has simplified the expression)

Question in How-tos
A randomly generated list of numbers is shown to the student. They must tick every occurrence of the lowest number. The number of occurrences isn't always the same - sometimes the minimum is unique and sometimes it is repeated. The
mapfunction makes it easy to construct a marking matrix. -
Question in How-tos
A mathematical expression part whose answer is the product of two matrices, $X \times Y$.
By setting the "variable value generator" option for $X$ and $Y$ to produce random matrices, we can ensure that the order of the factors in the student's answer matters: $X \times Y \neq Y \times X$.

Question in How-tosThis question shows how to make the correct answer to a "choose one from a list" part depend on randomised question variables, in a couple of ways. The first part uses JME expressions to define the marks available for each choice. The second part uses the "custom marking matrix" option.

A randomised line in a GeoGebra worksheet - construct the definition of the line manually Should not be usedQuestion in How-tos
Construct a line in a GeoGebra worksheet by writing its definition string by hand.
This isn't a very neat way of doing this. It's easier to define two points in GeoGebra, then make a line through those points. You can set the positions of the points from Numbas using vectors.

Question in How-tos
Construct a line through two points in a GeoGebra worksheet. Change the line by setting the positions of the two points when the worksheet is embedded into the question.

Given random set of data (between 13 and 23 numbers all less than 100), find their stem-and-leaf plot.
This version of the question asks for 10 fields to be filled rather than the full 25, although the question statement asks for 25. I am sure that the first version asked for all 25. -

Multiple correlation question. Given the correlation coefficent of $Y$ with $X_1$ is $r_{01}$, the correlation coefficent of $Y$ with $X_2$ is $r_{02}$ and the correlation coefficent of $X_1$ with $X_2$ is $r_{12}$ then explain the proportion of variablity of $Y$. Also find the partial corr coeff between $Y$ and $X_2$ after fitting $X_1$ and find how much of the remaining variability in $Y$ is explained by $X_2$ after fitting $X_1$.
