(C1,i) Add Feedback Assistant Mathematics (Enhanced)

The Feedback Assistant - Mathematics (FA-Math) is an engine that offers step-by-step feedback to students on their answers.

Important:

FA-Math can be added as Prepopulated Student Answer in a Free-Response Question. Students will be informed that FA-Math will provide feedback for the question.
File Submission and Suggested Answer Field are disabled when using FA-Math.

Select Free-Response then Feedback Assistant - Mathematics under Questions in the Component Bar. The Create New Question subpage will open.
- Alternatively, you can choose Default Free-Response then click the checkbox next to Use and select Feedback Assistant - Mathematics. In the Prepopulated Student Answer, click the Create a Mathematics question icon to open the Create New Question subpage.

In the Create New Question subpage, check the box whether you would like to show hints and feedback while students attempt the question.

Click Audience to select from a dropdown menu the level of your students. FA-Math would customise the hints and feedback based on the students’ level.

Select the question type that you would like to create using FA-Math. From June 2024 (R1), teachers can select the Bar Model method to allow students to present their solutions as models instead of algebraic equations.

When you are done, click Save.
From June 2024 (R1), students would be able to provide handwriting input(s) using the formula editor. This would increase the ease of use of FA-Math, especially for students who might not be so used to entering Math formulas and equations digitally.

Note that the handwriting function is also enabled for students’ use in other parts of SLS.
