Question 4 Maths extensions – MathAssess: Use algebraic expressions – Randomisation – Judging Maths input – MathML display as you type Computer Algebra behind scenes Manipulate expressions – Combine – Compare...

Question 5 Multi-input questions: Several (different) inputs in the same question All submitted together More comprehensive than single interaction Feedback targeted at each input

Question 6 Multi-stage questions: Each part presented in turn Depends on candidates previous input Feedback can be designed to appear – At each stage – At the end
