Sum of two fractions
Reading time: 1minIn the last years of primary school, students learn to operate fractions. Let us see how we create a question with WirisQuizzes step by step, asking, for instance, for the sum of two fractions. The grading will be done automatically; for now, both simplified and not simplified answers will be counted as correct.
Select the question type
First, we need to select which type of question we will use. Among all the possible options, the best one for adding two fractions is Short answer because we expect the student to answer with just the result.
Write the statement
Second, we will write the statement of the problem. Let us ask the students to sum 1/4 and 5/4. Fractions can be written with MathType
Write the correct answer
Third, open WirisQuizzes Studio by clicking.png)
Note
WirisQuizzes Studio is the main workspace. Here we will provide the correct answer and some matching criteria regarding the form of the solution. For instance, in the next example, we will see how to set the question so that only simplified fractions are correct. You can find more detailed information about WirisQuizzes Studio in its dedicated page.
Here you can provide the correct answer to the question.
Preview the question and save the changes
It is always a good practice to test how they behave using the Test this question section, even with simple questions. We can check that all the correct answers the student may provide are indeed correct.
Once you have finished testing the question, go back to the home page and click 
to save changes and WirisQuizzes Studio window closes.
Note
The view on this tab is the same as the students will have. Since they will see the same math editor that we see, we must select Math editor embedded or Math editor in popup on the Input options section.
Assign full grade and save the question
Finally, we must assign the full grade to the correct answer and save the question by clicking Save changes and continue editing. This way, we will save the question, but we will be left on the same page.
Student view
Now, we should be able to preview the question. Click Preview.
A new window will show up with the question shown as the student will see it. Here, we can test the behaviour of the question again.
Note we do not require the answer to be simplified. We'll look at how to do that in the next exercise.
