Making a math quiz from your own material

Writing a math quiz by hand takes time you would rather spend practicing, especially when your teacher's notes already contain the questions you need. Start with material you already have, such as lecture slides, a worksheet photo or a chapter PDF, and let DeckOwl draft multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from it.

  • Upload a chapter PDF, slides, DOCX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page.
  • Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer for each quiz.
  • Read the explanation for every answer so mistakes turn into review.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro.
Example algebra practice questions for a math quiz
What is the solution to 2x + 6 = 14?x = 4. Subtracting 6 from both sides gives 2x = 8, and dividing by 2 gives x = 4.
True or false: the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).True. The derivative of sine is cosine, a standard rule from introductory calculus.
What is the area of a triangle with base 10 cm and height 6 cm?30 cm². Area is one half times base times height, so 0.5 × 10 × 6 = 30.
Simplify 3/4 + 1/6.11/12. Rewriting both fractions with the common denominator 12 gives 9/12 + 2/12 = 11/12.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two fair six-sided dice?1/6. Six of the 36 equally likely outcomes give a sum of 7, and 6/36 reduces to 1/6.
Generate the full set

Upload your own material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or a photo of a worksheet page, and the quiz is built from that content.

Pick your question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and read the explanation attached to each question.

Export when you need a copy

Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your notes

Drop in a chapter PDF, lecture slides, a DOCX or a photo of the page.

Choose the question types

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer for the quiz.

Check and study

Review the draft questions, then take the quiz in the browser and read each explanation.

Check every draft before you rely on it. Confirm the arithmetic, make sure the wording matches your course, and read each explanation to catch any step that does not fit the method your class uses. Once the quiz is right, study it in the browser, or export it if you need a printable or LMS-ready copy.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a math quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions usually cover one chapter well enough for a self-check, and shorter quizzes suit daily review. Start with the topics that gave you the most trouble in class.

What kinds of math questions work best in a quiz?

Mix procedure questions, where you solve a problem step by step, with a few true/false questions that test whether you understand the idea behind it. Explanations for each answer show where a mistake came from.

Can I export a math quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No credit card is needed to start. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and you can study the quiz in the browser.
