Add fill-in-the-blank math to a question
In a Fill in the blanks question, click Pick blanks and select text, or part of a formula, to make it a blank. Students see an empty gap where each blank was, and they answer in real notation: fractions, exponents, roots, and equations. The Autograder reads each answer as math.
- Open the assessment and choose Create at the top.
- In a Fill in the blanks question, type the passage under Write.
- Click Pick blanks.
- Select a number, or part of a formula, in the passage. It becomes a blank, and its answer joins the list under the passage.
- To take a second answer for a blank, click also accept on its row and add the answer.
Good to know
To remove a blank, select it again. On a blank’s row, the minus and plus beside 12 ch make its gap narrower or wider.
You can also ask Chat beside the assessment to add the blanks, such as “In my two-step equations practice, make each answer a math blank.”
