I need an algorithm for rounding whole numbers in a quiz. Is that possible to do? For example, the number is 405 and I want the student to round to the nearest hundred.
Actually, there is a helper function in formula which is "round", which should give you what you want. To round to the nearest 100, divide by 100, round and then multiply by 100: 100*round(x/100). Please test to see if it works as you expect, as I haven't used them before (especially for negative numbers, if you're using those).
For a list of helper functions, check Canvas Formula Quiz Question Helper Functions - Instructure Community - 387062.
Used in a formula question, that allows you to give them a number, say 405, and ask them to round them:405/100=4.05round(4.05)=4100*4=400

If you're using a formula, you can set a precision range with \(\pm\) a given value, but not to round up or down to a value. If it's a numeric response, you can set a range of values. This would likely require a new feature that could be requested. Otherwise, if you want to have different values as in a formula but with very different answers to round to 100, using a question bank (with the numeric question type) and various values might be the solution.
Hey, you could use the floor function in formula question in a new quiz. Assuming that x is your variable name, to round to the nearest 100, you could use: floor("x"/100)*100.
Hope that helps!

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
