Question/Idea about Formula Questions...

[MrLynchD]

I was wondering if there was a way to have the "Formula Question" format do a calculation in the question.  For instance, I would like to type in something like:

[x]+[2*x]=

Where x would be the variable, and then when the question was asked, and x was 3, the student they would see...

3+6=

or if x was 8 the student would see...

8+16=

Is there anyway to do something like this?  

Thank you.

Hi @MrLynchD 

In Canvas, that is called a "formula question".

If you are using Canvas "classic" quizzes, there are instructions here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-Formula-quiz-question-with-a-s... 

If you are using New Quizzes, look here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-Formula-question-in-New-Quizze...

Thank you.  I have successfully used these types of quizzes before, and I like the feature.  I am trying to see if there is a "next level" type of use.
