Elements students interact with directly — multiple choice, wordbank, math response, notepad, and quiz

multichoice

multichoicealias: mc

A multiple-choice question with labelled options. Place the question text in the body and choice{} elements in the detail [] block. At least one choice should have correct: true.

multiple (boolean; default: false). Allow more than one correct answer
shuffle (boolean; default: false). Randomise choice order on each load
show_answer (boolean; default: false). Reveal the correct answer without an attempt

multichoice{
    Which of the following is a prime number?
}[
    choice{ 1 }
    choice{ 7 }(correct: true)
    choice{ 9 }
    choice{ 15 }
](shuffle: true)

    choice{ 7 }(correct: true)
    choice{ 9 }
    choice{ 15 }
](shuffle: true)

choice

choice

An individual option inside a multichoice question. The body is the option text. Mark correct answers with correct: true.

correct (boolean; default: false). Whether this option is a correct answer

choice{ $3x^2$ }(correct: true)
choice{ $x^3$ }

choice{ $3x^2$ }(correct: true)
choice{ $x^3$ }

wordbank

wordbank

A fill-in-the-blank exercise. Place the prompt in the body using !blank() to mark blank slots. Add word{} tiles in the detail [] block — tiles with a blank attribute answer that slot; tiles without a blank are distractors.

shuffle (boolean; default: true). Randomise word tile order
show_answer (boolean; default: false). Reveal the correct arrangement

wordbank{
    The !blank() is the set of all possible output values of a function,
    while the !blank() is the set of all valid inputs.
}[
    word{ range }(blank: 1)
    word{ domain }(blank: 2)
    word{ codomain }
    word{ image }

mathresponse

mathresponsealias: math, mr

An interactive maths input that evaluates student answers automatically. Supports algebraic equivalence checking, numeric rounding, and strict matching.

answer (string; default: —). The correct answer expression
mode (algebraic / rounded / strict; default: algebraic). How the answer is evaluated
placeholder (string; default: —). Input placeholder text
hint (string; default: —). Hint shown when the student requests it
show_answer (boolean; default: false). Reveal the correct answer

mathresponse{
    Find the derivative of $f(x) = x^3 + 2x$.
}(
    answer: 3x^2 + 2
    mode: algebraic
    hint: Apply the power rule to each term
)

A freeform text input for open-ended responses, written explanations, or working space. Student responses are local and not submitted.

placeholder (string; default: —). Placeholder text shown in the empty input
rows (number; default: —). Number of visible rows (controls height)

notepad{
    Explain in your own words why the limit $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$.
