A demo of the match choices with answers part and its options.

A custom marking algorithm on the spreadsheet part changes it to interpret quantities in cells, so they can be compared to the expected answer.

In real use, you'd probably want more sophisticated logic, to give better feedback or to allow partial marks for different units, like the "quantity with units" part type does.

Do not use this: adaptive marking is the best way to access the student's answer to another part.

Shows how to retrieve the student's answer to another part from a custom marking script.

Find the cross product of 2D vectors (WARNING: requires scalar answer (magnitude only))

This question asks the student to give a function with a particular root. It then asks them to divide by (x-{root}), and uses adaptive marking to mark against the previous answer.

This uses the "expression" data type, which is currently undocumented and experimental.

Issues: alignment in columns in the working - not sure what to do about it

Decimal divided by a decimal. Multiply by a power of ten to get an integer divisor. Long and short division process. There is a remainder which we express as a decimal by continuing the division process. Rounding is required to some number of decimal places.

Divisor is a two-digit number. There is a remainder which we express as a decimal by continuing the division process. Rounding is required to one decimal place. The working suggests determining the second decimal place so the student knows whether to round up or down.

Divisor is single digit. There is a remainder which we express as a decimal by continuing the division process. Rounding is required to one decimal place. The working suggests determining the second decimal place so the student knows whether to round up or down.

Divisor is a two digit number. There is a remainder which we express as a decimal by continuing the division process. No rounding is required by design (another question will include rounding off).

Twenty questions which can be used by Initial Teacher Education students preparing for the Australian LANTITE numeracy test. The questions are grouped in content strands and each question is randomised. Questions are either multiple choice, true/false or type the answer in a box. The questions are chosen from a menu and there is no time limit. They are different to the questions in Timed Practice Quiz v2.

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). MG = Measurement & Geometry strand. NC = Non-Calculator strand. Students are shown an image of a thermometer calibrated in degrees Celsius. Student must answer a question using the thermometer. The image is randomly selected from a pool of 4. There are two different potential questions for each thermometer. Hence 8 different questions in total.

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). MG = Measurement & Geometry strand. NC = Non-Calculator strand. Students are shown an image of a thermometer calibrated in both degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. Student must answer a question using the thermometer. The image is randomly selected from a pool of 3. There are two different potential questions for each thermometer. Hence 6 questions in total.

Filling in the blanks from the answer to a simplified expression involving indices.

Solve linear equations with one unknown. Including brackets and fractions.

Fractions already have a common denominator. Addition and subtraction 50:50 split, when subtracting, the answer is negative half the time. Students shouldn't have to worry about reducing fractions by design.

Use two points on a line graph to calculate the gradient and $y$-intercept and hence the equation of the straight line running through both points.

The answer box for the third part plots the function which allows the student to check their answer against the graph before submitting.

This particular example has a positive gradient.

Solving a pair of linear simultaneous equations, giving answers as integers or fractions.

Calculate an answer involving a fractional index.

The student is asked to find the square root of an integer of the form $\pm n^2$. If the root is not real, they should enter "nan".

A custom marking algorithm extends the built-in one to deal with "nan".

There's some custom javascript to set the expected answer correctly. In the future this will be possible in the marking algorithm - see https://github.com/numbas/Numbas/issues/856

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.

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 $\frac{a-b}{c-d}=\frac{b-a}{d-c}$

Copy the problem parameters into the handout provided and solve the Building Fabric heat loss problem by hand. Enter your answers into this quiz to get your score. Upload a copy of your written answer to the submission on Brightspace. Good Luck!

Here you need to choose which formula you would use to find the red dashed value from the solid green values.  The view is three-dimensional and you can rotate it to get a better view.

Variable defintions in the formulas:
$\theta$ is an angle
Adj. is the length of the side adjacent to the known angle
Opp. is the length of the side opposite the known angle
Hyp. is the length of the hypotenuse


Your goal is to get twenty correct answers quickly. Incorrect answers show a highlight of the correct answer to select to continue.  The timer starts as soon as you choose your first answer and continues until you get 20 correct.  Select save answer after your results show in the applet.

Basically expand an expression like "5y(-2z+3)" where the student types answer into a single gap.

The student has to write the general solution of a 2nd order PDE. They can choose the names of their arbitrary functions of $x$ and $y$.

The marking algorithm finds the names of the functions of $x$ and $y$ in the student's answer, and replaces them with $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(y)$ (these could be changed) so that the expression can be evaluated.
