Example: Find a Point in the Coordinate System

Finding a point in the coordinate system for students who know how to deal with natural numbers

In GeoGebra and geogebra.org

  • Hide the Algebra View, show the grid, show only the positive direction for the axis
  • Zoom in, such that the grid has a distance of 0.5
  • Create a slider with name a, min 0, max 7 and increment 0.1
  • Create a slider with name b, min 0, max 4 and increment 0.1
  • Type A = (a,b) in the Input Bar
  • Type B = (0,0) in the Input Bar
  • Type solved = Distance[A,B]<0.1 in the Input Bar
  • Hide Point A and the two sliders
  • Resize the window, so you can see the x-axis from 0 to 7 and the y-axis from 0 to 4
  • Choose Share from the file menu
  • Make sure the applet size was detected correctly and press next. You do not need any informations for the student, since you fill in this in Moodle.
  • Fill in the fields with information for other teachers. You should choose Shared with link in the visibility section.
  • You can also find this file under https://www.geogebra.org/material/show/id/Tz7PugnG

In Moodle

  • Go to the Question Bank of your Moodle course
  • Choose Create a new question...
  • Double click on GeoGebra
  • Type in a question name
  • Type: Drag the blue point to the point A=({a}/{b}).
  • Click Choose a link... in the GeoGebra Applet section
  • Find and choose the file you just uploaded to geogebra.org
  • You will get a list of your files (public and shared with link) when you are logged in to geogebra.org in the same browser instance.
  • Alternatively you can copy and paste the share link which is shown on geogebra.org
  • Click (Re)Load and show applet - the applet will be shown
  • Choose yes in the Are there any variables which should be randomized? drop-down list
  • If you're lucky, we found the correct variables, which can be randomized for you, otherwise type a,b in the Variables to be randomized input
  • In the Answers section set Variable 1 to solved and the grade to 100%
  • Save the question and preview the question. Use the question in a Moodle Quiz.
