Students are supposed to use Excel (or similar) to find the answers (e.g., enter coordinates of two points then plot and add trendline).

Uses an embedded Geogebra graph of a line $y=mx+c$ with random coefficients set by NUMBAS.

A demo of the matrix entry part and its options.

This question is a variation on another version which asks the student to find the height of a bridge arch and width of the river given a formula for the arch of the bridge (also available in the Numbas database)

Entering numbers and algebraic symbols  in Numbas. (German translation)

A portfolio of NUMBAS questions created for first year Natural Sciences students. The questions cover the topics: 

• Linear functions
• Quadratic functions
• Differentiation
• Integration
• Explonatial and logarithms 
• Further differentiation
• Further Integration
• Trigonometric Functions

Oefeningen:

BASIS: Maak een extra "part" aan, waar om het product van de twee breuken gevraagd wordt.

BASIS: Zoek uit waar typische_fout voor dient (bij de variabelen) en hoe die typische fout dan effectief gesignaleerd wordt.

GEMIDDELD: Zorg dat geen/enkel (jouw keuze) noemers voorkomen die geen gemeenschappelijke deler hebben. (Hint: gcd(a,b) kan een hulp zijn, met een for-loop.)

Quadratic factorisation that does not rely upon pattern matching.

One could also use the pattern matching syntax to check automatically; this is programatically harder.

Some questions to show off features of Numbas, linked from the Numbas homepage.

Inputting algebraic expressions into Numbas.

Question asks student to find zeros of a quadratic equation - disguised as finding time for particle to reach a given position. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance. Coefficients of the quadratic are randomly chosen within linits which give one positive and one negative root.

This uses an embedded Geogebra graph of a polar function with random coefficients set by NUMBAS.

The first question from the Numbas tutorial, extended a bit.

 Question asks student to find zeros of a quadratic equation. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance.

Question asks students to find the time taken for an object thrown vertically upward from a platform to reach the ground. Set up randomly chooses environment to be on Earth, Mars or the Moon and uses appropriate acceleration due to gravity. The initial velocity of the body and height of the platform above the ground are randomly selected. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance.

This shows one way of laying out matrix cells in a table, so that some cells can be filled in by the student.

At the time this was written, there's an open issue for allowing some entries in the matrix entry part to be filled-in, which would make this technique redundant.

Some CSS in the preamble adds the brackets around the table - it has to have the attribute class="matrix-gaps"

This uses an embedded Geogebra graph of a cubic polynomial with random coefficients set by NUMBAS.  Student has to decide what kind of map it represents and whether an inverse function exists.
