Graph the function y=x^2+2 on [-3,3] by plotting points. State the domain and range. This is part of HELM Book 2.2.1.

This question models an experiment: the student must collect some data and enter it at the start of the question, and the expected answers to subsequent parts are marked based on that data.

The student's values of the variables width, depth and height are stored once they move on from the first part.

This question models an experiment: the student must collect some data and enter it at the start of the question, and the expected answers to subsequent parts are marked based on that data.

A downside of working this way is that you have to set up the variable replacements on each part of the question. You could avoid this by using explore mode.

Evaluate a composition of functions for a randomised numerical input. The functions are 3t+2 and t+3. This is part of HELM Book 2.1.3.

A two part question. Students are first given the formula for the time for a ball to come to rest after being dropped on a block. Part a) asks the students to rearrange the formula to make e, the coefficient of restitution, the subject of the formula. Part b) gives students realistic values for variables in the formula and asks them to calculate the coefficient of restitution using the formula derived in part a).

old question, way too many things in one question! I have made better questions out of each part now.

In the first part, the student must write any linear equation in three unknowns. Each distinct variable can occur more than once, and on either side of the equals sign. It doesn't check that the equation has a unique solution.

In the second part, they must write three equations in two unknowns. It doesn't check that they're independent or that the system has a solution. The marking algorithm on each of the gaps just checks that they're valid linear equations, and the marking algorithm for the whole gap-fill checks the number of unknowns.

A mathematical expression part with a pattern restriction to ensure that the student has extracted the highest common factor of two terms.

The answer must be of the form $a(b+cx)$, where $b$ and $c$ are coprime.

The expected answer involves the logarithm of a negative number, which doesn't have a unique solution.

The part's marking algorithm evaluates the exponential of the student's answer and the expected answer, and compares those.

The expected answer involves the logarithm of a negative number, which doesn't have a unique solution.

The part's marking algorithm checks that the student's answer differs from the expected answer by a multiple of $2\pi$.

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 question shows how explore mode can be used to loop through several versions of the same question. The variables for each version are stored in a list of "scenarios", and a counter works through that list each time the student moves on to the next part, labelled "try the next version of this question".

The student is shown a passage of code in the prompt to a "choose several from a list" part.

The number entry part in this question has an alternative answer which is marked correct if the student's number satisfies an equation specified in the custom marking algorithm.

Add two algebraic fractions with coprime denominators. Part of HELM Book 1.4.3.

There are two parts: 

(3x)/4-x/5+x/3 and (3x/4)-(x/5+x/3).

The numbers are randomised to small, coprime, positive integers.

The student is asked to calculate a division by the method of long division, which they should enter in a grid.

The process is simulated and the order in which cells are filled in is recorded, so the marking feedback tries to identify the first cell that the student got wrong, or should try to fill in next.

They're asked to give the quotient as a plain number in a second part, to check that they can interpret the finished grid properly.

Shows how the "give a number which satisfies an equation" part type can be used to makr the student's number correct if it satisfies an equation of the form $f(x) = 0$.

Two dimensional particle equilibrium problem.  Advice shows how to use how to use slope triangles to find sines and cosines, rather than finding the angle and using that.

Simplify (a) a fully-factorised fraction with common factors, and (b) a fraction where the numerator is a product and the denominator a sum sharing the same variables (that cannot be simplified). The variables are randomised. Part of HELM book 1.4

Simplify an algebraic fraction where both numerator and denominator must first be factorised. Part of HELM Book 1.4
