Why start from your own math material

A tutor building a unit test or a teacher preparing a review session often wants math quiz ideas that match the exact lesson just taught, which a generic worksheet from a search result rarely does.

  • Questions drawn from the exact pages you upload
  • Explanations for every correct answer
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one set
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, QTI or Moodle XML on Pro
Example algebra and calculus quiz questions
Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22x = 5. Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide both sides by 3.
True or false: the principal square root of 16 is 4 and -4.False. The radical sign denotes the non-negative root, so sqrt(16) = 4; the solutions of x^2 = 16 are 4 and -4.
What is the slope of the line through (1, 2) and (3, 8)?3. Rise over run: (8 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 6 / 2 = 3.
Find the derivative of f(x) = x^3 - 4x.f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4. Apply the power rule to each term separately.
How many ways can 4 different books be arranged on a shelf?24. This is 4 factorial: 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24, since each position has one fewer choice.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a math quiz cover for one chapter?

A short chapter quiz works best when it mixes quick recall checks with a few multi-step problems. Pick the sections where students most often lose points and weight the quiz toward them.

What makes a good multiple-choice math question?

Each wrong option should reflect a common mistake, such as a sign error or a skipped step, so the explanation teaches something. Avoid options that are obviously wrong.

Can I export a math quiz to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan, which also supports QTI 2.1. PDF and DOCX export are available on Plus.

Is there a free plan for making math quizzes?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.
