Separable equation for integration.

Order of Operations

rebelmaths

Question requires students to interchange units of Hz with MHz, GHz, THz. Question is not very efficient at present- frequencies spanning many orders of magnitude are generated by variables in a clumsy way. Could be improved by having frequency generated by a 10^((random(1000..4000)/1000) variable instead, for example. 

AMRC Skills Audit - covering the following programmes:

Put fractions in size order.

Manipulate fractions in order to add and subtract them. The difficulty escalates through the inclusion of a whole integer and a decimal, which both need to be converted into a fraction before the addition/subtraction can take place.

Uses the $\chi^2$ test to see if there is any significant difference in preferences.

In this question the students have to solve a linear recurrence of order 1. The sequence is asked in recurrence form and the goal is to find its closed form.

In this question the students have to solve a linear recurrence of order 2. The sequence is asked in recurrence form and the goal is to find its closed form.

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.

This question assesses learners' ability to conduct a two sample t-test.

This question tests understanding of subscript notation for matrices

In this question the students have to solve a linear recurrence of order 2. The sequence is asked in recurrence form and the goal is to find its closed form.

This question is an application of a quadratic equation. Student is given dimensions of a rectangular area, and an area of pavers that are available. They are asked to calculate the width of a border that can be paved around the given rectangle (assuming border is the same width on all 4 sides). The equation for the area of the border is given in terms of the unknown border width. Students need to recognise that only one solution of the quadratic gives a physically possible solution.

The dimensions of the rectangle, available area of tiles and type of space are randomised. Numeric variables are constructed so that resulting quadratic equation has one positive and one negative root.

The student is asked to give the roots of a quadratic equation. They should be able to enter the numbers in any order, and each correct number should earn a mark.

When there's only one root, the student can only fill in one of the answer fields.

This is implemented with a gap-fill with two number entry gaps. The gaps have a custom marking algorithm to allow an empty answer. The gap-fill considers the student's two answers as a set, and compares with the set of correct answers.

The marking corresponds to this table:

A custom marking algorithm picks out the names of the constants of integration that the student has used in their answer, and tries mapping them to every permutation of the constants used in the expected answer. The version that agrees the most with the expected answer is used for testing equivalence.

If the student uses fewer constants of integration, it still works (but they must be wrong), and if they use too many, it's still marked correct if the other variables have no impact on the result. For example, adding $+0t$ to an expression which otherwise doesn't use $t$ would have no impact.

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.

Two sample t-test to see if there is a difference between scores on questions between two groups when the questions are asked in a different order.
