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).

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!

HTML lists have a sensible default, where the list numbering or bullet style changes as you indent. This is a crucial visual cue to help you understand which level of indention a list item belongs to. For example, an ordered list typically uses numbers for the first level, letters for the second level, etc. Not only is…
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…

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…
