LinearFunctionQuiz

Generate a quiz to assess understanding of linear functions

ResourceFunction["LinearFunctionQuiz"][]

returns an interactive assessment on plotting linear functions based on input/output pairs.

Details and Options

ResourceFunction["LinearFunctionQuiz"] picks a linear function used to transform user inputs to outputs, which are then recorded in a table. The user is then required to plot the corresponding points by moving the locators. After five points have been adjusted, the user selects the corresponding linear function from the drop-down menu.

The interface returned by ResourceFunction["LinearFunctionQuiz"] 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 a quiz on plotting a linear function by moving points on a graph:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Scope (3)

When Check answer is clicked, attempts are marked as correct based on whether or not the chosen points lie along the line in question. Correct answers receive a green check mark:

In[2]:=
