Arithmetic Quiz

Arithmetic Quiz is a timed quiz of arithmetic problems or linear equations. The concrete problems are generated by the H5P library itself at play time; the AI only defines the operation type, the difficulty, and the number of problems.

Generated content

  • The activity's title and description.
  • The quiz configuration (mode, operation or difficulty, and problem count). The problem statements themselves are produced by the H5P library while playing, so they are not evaluated as AI-generated content.

Rules and behavior

  • The session is timed and playable from start to finish, showing the final result.
  • Requested amounts within 2 to 100 are applied exactly (e.g. asking for 40 problems produces a 40-problem session; a session ending at 20 means the requested amount was not applied).
  • Asking for more than 100 problems does not generate more: the session is capped at 100.
  • When a syllabus is uploaded, the anchoring to the document is verified in the configuration, title, and description of the activity — not in the problem statements.

Example prompts

Without syllabus

A timed multiplication quiz with the default problem count:

I need an H5P arithmetic quiz on multiplication for the primary school Mathematics course, so students can practice their times tables against the clock.

A linear equations quiz at intermediate difficulty:

Prepare an H5P arithmetic quiz of linear equations at intermediate difficulty for the Introductory Algebra course, as timed practice before the exam.

A quiz requesting more problems than the maximum, which is capped at 100:

Make me an H5P arithmetic quiz on division for the Mathematics course with one hundred and fifty problems, for a mental math marathon.

With syllabus

A timed multiplication quiz whose title and description anchor to unit 1 of the document:

I need an H5P arithmetic quiz on multiplication as timed practice for unit 1 of the syllabus I uploaded, which works on that operation.

A linear equations quiz at intermediate difficulty tied to topic 2 of the document:

Prepare an H5P arithmetic quiz of linear equations at intermediate difficulty, as timed practice for topic 2 of the document I uploaded before that topic's assessment.

A forty-problem addition and subtraction batch reinforcing unit 3:

I want an H5P arithmetic quiz of addition and subtraction to reinforce unit 3 of the syllabus: a batch of forty problems for intensive practice.
