                      Match the plot

                      Reading time: 2min

                      We will ask the student to match a function with its graph in the following example. Thus, we will incorporate a plot in the statement. Let us see how it is done.

                      Select the question type

                      First, we will select which type of question we will use. Until now, we have been using Short answer, but now we will choose Multiple choice since we want the student to select the correct option among all the possibilities that we will give.

                      Construct the plot

                      For instance, we will show the plot of x², and then students will have to choose from some possibilities. Let us then create the plot of x². Open WirisQuizzes Studio by clicking As we need to create more complex variables, such as the graphical representation of a function, we need to click on the Advanced mode button.

                        
                      What you see is CalcMe.

                      Notice

                      For getting started with CalcMe, see its very very basic guide.

                      We directly write x² and click on Plot. Pay attention that the graph appears in the first plotter, plotter1.

                      Tip

                      If you used CalcMe before, you might have noticed some differences with previous versions. You can see further details about the new procedure to define variables here.

                      That is all we have to do regarding the algorithm. Click the arrow on the upper left corner to go back to WirisQuizzes Studio

                      Click so changes are saved, and WirisQuizzes Studio window closes.

                      Create the possible answers

                      In the Answers section, create three different choices x², x³ and 2x+1 and assign 100% of the grade to the correct one.

                      It is possible to specify some feedback for each choice. Feedback is what appears once the student has answered the question. We can write Congratulations! for those who answer correctly, and Your answer is not correct; that is a parabola! for those who fail.

                      Write the statement

                      Finally, let us write the statement of the problem. Recall that the function graph was plotted in the first plotter , plotter1, to be our variable. Then we need to precede by # the variable's name, in this case, plotter1. The statement will look like

                      Note

                      From this moment on, it's possible to customize the size of your plotter graphs in the question's statement. Make your plotter more visible by using the following commands:

                      • #yourplottername_desiredsize
                      • #yourplottername_desiredwidth_desiredheight

                      For example, if we want to display our plotter with a custom size of 800px per 600px, we need to use the syntax #plotter1_800_600 on the question statement.

                      Label of the options and shuffling

                      We have almost finished, but small details are missing. We should specify that only one answer is correct, whether we want to shuffle the choices or not (so that the order in which the choices appear is different for each student), and which label is used for each choice.

                      Save and preview the question

                      We have finished with the creation of the question. Now, save the question by clicking Save changes and continue editing.

                      Click Preview.

                      A new window will show up with the question shown as the student will see it. Then, we can test the behaviour of the question again.
