Given an equation with log terms added together, the student must solve for x. Hints are included in the question to aid the student as needed.

The statement contains two blank geogebra applets: one with the computer algebra view, which can be used as a calculator, and the other with algebra and geometry views.

There are custom functions which set the perspective of a geogebra applet and show the toolbar or algebra input line. These will probably be included in the geogebra extension eventually.

Finding the confidence interval at either 90%, 95% or 99% for the mean given the mean of a sample. The population variance is given and so the z values are used. Various scenarios are included.

Using Pythagoras' theorem to determine a non-hypotenuse side, where side lengths include surds and students enter using sqrt syntax

A couple of different ways of showing the correct answer to a single part as soon as the student submits an answer. One way allows the student to change their answer, while the other locks the part.

A third part includes a "reveal answers to this part" button, which allows the student to choose to reveal the answer to the part.

Think very carefully before using this: by revealing the answer, you are removing the opportunity for the student to later on realise they've got that step wrong, as a consequence of some further work. It's often possible to use adaptive marking to use the student's answer in place of the correct answer in later parts.

The student must make a spanning tree of the complete graph $K_5$. They can tick boxes to include or exclude edges, or toggle them by clicking on a visual representation of the graph.

Motion under gravity. Object is projected vertically with initial velocity $V\;m/s$. Find time to maximum height and the maximum height. Now includes an interactive plot.

In this demo question, you can see either 2 or 3 gaps depending on the variable \(m\), and the marking algorithm doesn't penalise for the empty third gap in cases when it is not shown.

Reason to use it: for vectors or matrices containing only numbers, one can easily use matrix entry to account for a random size of an answer. But this does not work for mathematical expressions. There we have to give each entry of the vector as a separate gap, which then becomes a problem when the size varies. This solves that problem. For this reason I've included two parts: one very simple one that just shows the phenomenon of variable number of gaps, and one which is more like why I  needed it.

Note that to resolve the fact that when \(m=2\), the point for the third gap cannot be earned, I have made it so that the student only gets 0 or all points, when all shown gaps are correctly filled in.

Note the use of Ax[m-1] in the third gap "correct answer" of part b): if you use Ax[2], then it will throw an error when m=2, as then Ax won't have the correct size. So even though the marking algorithm will ignore it, the question would still not work.

Bonus demo if you look in the variables: A way to automatically generate the correct latex code for \(\var{latexAx}\), since it's a variable size. I would usually  need that in the "Advice", i.e. solutions, rather than the question text.

First compute matrix times vector for specific vectors. Then determine domain and codomain and general formula for the matrix transformation defined by the matrix.

Randomising the number of rows in the matrix, m, makes the marking algorithm for part c) slightly complicated: it checks whether it should include the third gap or not depending on the variable m. For the correct distribution of marks, it is then necessary to do "you only get the marks if all gaps are correct". Otherwise the student would only get 2/3 marks when m=2, so the third gap doesn't appear.
