Question in Christian's workspace
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.

Question in DemosAn interactive experiment about probability: the student must first 'design' the experiment by deciding how many times they're going to flip a coin, and define what number of heads would make them believe the coin is biased. They must then enter the results of their coin flips, calculate the percentage of heads, and finally decide if the coin is biased, using the condition they specified in the design stage. There are optional hints at each stage.
