This very preliminary prototype allows homework designers to upload an image and drag answer inputs over it. (Note that the above interface shows the old DFM design before the recent redesign) Homeworks can be taken in two main different formats:  ‘Linear’ homeworks: Students are presented with a predetermined sequence of questions (which may be preselected by the teacher).  Differentiated homeworks: Students are presented random questions (from a large bank), starting with easy questions. If students correctly answer all these initial questions, they advance onto harder questions, otherwise stick with the easier level. The very hardest level (known elsewhere on the existing DrFrostMaths site as ‘Killer Questions’) involve a large degree of challenge. Explanations are provided for the correct answer once students input their answer, additionally with links to appropriate expository resources on my website. Students will be incentivised with an appropriate points system with progress for weaker students also appropriately rewarded. Where there is a teacher account associated with a student one, teachers will be able to see which questions students got correct and incorrect, and their progression over time if they have reattempted an assessment.
