The student is asked to factorise a quadratic $x^2 + ax + b$. A custom marking script uses pattern matching to ensure that the student's answer is of the form $(x+a)(x+b)$, $(x+a)^2$, or $x(x+a)$.

To find the script, look in the Scripts tab of part a.

Uses JSXGraph to generate a plot for a cubic, with given critical points, along with three other incorrect graphs with modified properties. JSXGraph code is commented.

Students seem to freak out when their answer is not written exactly the same as the answer provided. This question tries to enforce that $(x-y)=-(y-x)$ and $\frac{a-b}{c-d}=\frac{b-a}{d-c}$

An example of using the GeoGebra extension to ask the student to create a geometric construction, with marking and steps.

35 simple subtraction questions are given with a 2 minute time limit.

Implicit differentiation.

Given $x^2+y^2+dxy +ax+by=c$ find $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}$ in terms of $x$ and $y$.

Also find two points on the curve where $x=0$ and find the equation of the tangent at those points.

Given a description in words of the costs of some items in terms of an unknown cost, write down an expression for the total cost of a selection of items. Then simplify the expression, and finally evaluate it at a given point.

The word problem is about the costs of sweets in a sweet shop.

Five graphs are sketch. Task is to select those that look like parabolas/quadratics.

Two quadratic graphs are sketched with some area beneath them shaded. Question is to determine the area of shaded regions using integration. The first graph's area is all above the $x$-axis. The second graph has some area above and some below the $x$-axis.
