LinearTransformationQuiz

Generate a quiz to assess understanding of linear transformations

Contributed by: Jordan Hasler, Wolfram|Alpha Math Team

ResourceFunction["LinearTransformationQuiz"][]

returns an interactive assessment on plotting linear transformations.

Details

ResourceFunction["LinearTransformationQuiz"] randomly picks a line and distances to translate the line in the horizontal and vertical directions. The user is then asked to choose two points on the new, translated line.

The interface returned by ResourceFunction["LinearTransformationQuiz"] includes the following buttons:

Check answer

automatically grades input with feedback

Reset problem

resets the problem by clearing the accumulated data table and moving locators back to their starting positions

Next problem

randomly generates a new problem and internally saves the previous problem history

Print report

prints a description of the problems that have been attempted so far, all guesses made and whether the last guess on each problem was correct

Styling and interface controls may be found under the "Display options" opener.

Examples

Basic Examples (1)

Generate an interface to quiz yourself on plotting a transformation of a linear function by moving points on a graph:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Scope (3)

Attempts are marked as correct based on whether or not the conditions of the description are met:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

If an attempt does not approximately meet the specified criteria, it is marked as incorrect:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Clicking the Print report button returns a description of the problems that have been attempted so far, all guesses made and if the last guess on each problem was correct:

In[4]:=
