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!
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
