A STACK question giving specific feedback on a partially correct answer, including graphing the student's answer.STACK helps students learn from their mistakes through specific feedback.

Computer Algebra Support

STACK uses the Computer Algebra System Maxima to evaluate expressions.

  • Mathematical answers: questions are not limited to multiple choice.
  • Randomise questions: so different students see different variants of a quiz.
  • Graphical support: make your questions stand out by integrating Maxima plots, JSXGraphs or Google Charts.

Validation of answers

Before answers are graded, students confirm their answer is interpreted correctly by the system. Invalid answers, like ones with mismatched brackets, are rejected.

  •  Flexible: the teacher decides what a valid answer looks like.

Intelligent marking

Teachers write grading trees that mark answers based on mathematical properties, like "is it factored?"

  •  Multipart questions with follow-through marking.
  •  Give-example style questions with many correct answers.
  •  Diverse question types involving scientific units, numerical accuracy, line-by-line reasoning and more.
