When creating an advanced assessment, one of the available categories is for math questions. Essentially, there are three variations of math questions; Cloze, Formula, and Desmos. See below for details.
💡 Tip from the Otus Team: when in doubt, choose Cloze Math! It is the simplest math question to build, and allows for the most flexible scoring options.
Cloze Questions
Have the most flexible scoring.
Can have multiple lines of answer entry.
Allows multiple responses boxes for a single question, and those responses can be scored separately.
Cloze Math
The student enters a math response into one or more response boxes.
Cloze Math with Image
The student enters a math response into one or more response boxes on an image.
Math Essay
The student can input both text and math formulas/symbols within the same response, usually when a response needs further explanation.
Formula Math Questions
Allows for more advanced scoring.
Can have only a single line of answer entry.
Allows multiple response boxes for a single question, but those responses are scored in conjunction with one another; they are unable to be scored separately.
Math Formula
In this question type, students will be able to input any answer that makes the statement(s) true.
Math Fill in the Blanks
This question type is identical to Math Formula, except that when you build it, there are two response boxes in the template by default.
Math with Text
This question type is identical to Math Formula, except that when you build it, there is text in the template by default.
Math with Units
This question type is identical to Math Formula, except that when you build it, there is text related to units of measurement in the template by default.
Math with Fractions
This question type is identical to Math Formula, except that when you build it, there are fractions in the template by default.
Math with Matrices
This question type is identical to Math Formula, except that when you build it, there are matrices in the template by default.
Desmos Math Questions
Desmos questions are on separate tabs, marked with the green Desmos symbol. These question types are created using the Desmos Builder, and are the most advanced math question types.
