On screen three, I’d like the table entries to be self-checking. I want them to enter their answers in simplified square roots. This is what I’ve tried in CL:
cellContent(2,4): when table4.cellNumericValue(2,2)=2 “” otherwise “”
cellContent(2,5): when table4.cellNumericValue(2,3)=(2\sqrt{2}) “” otherwise “”
It doesn’t like it. The top line works fine, but the bottom one doesn’t.
I’d also like to check both cells with one checkmark, or an x if one or both are wrong.
Hi Laura! I think if you add a second “numericValue()” around the 2\sqrt{2} it will fix it.
If you would like to check each box individually, I would recommend cellSuffix (instead of adding more rows to the table). It could look something like this:
cellSuffix(2,2): when this.cellNumericValue(2,2)=2 “” otherwise “”
cellSuffix(2,3): when this.cellNumericValue(2,3)=(numericValue(2\sqrt{2})) “” otherwise “”
As the person above said though, if you want to make sure their answer is exactly 2\sqrt{2} (not some other numerically equivalent version like sqrt{8} for example) you’ll want to check for that as a string, not the numeric value.
If you would like to add another column at the end and have both answers be checked by that one box, you could do this:
cellContent(2,4): when this.cellNumericValue(2,2)=2 and this.cellNumericValue(2,3)=(numericValue(2\sqrt{2})) “” otherwise “”
” otherwise “
