# Terminology: Question

A question is a subpart of an exercise. If an exercises contains multiple questions, then these will be labeled as a, b, c, etc. If an exercise has only one question, then the label is not shown.

Icons to recognize questions

In the case of a single question, the question is indicated with the edit icon in the tab on the lefthand side of the screen.

In case of multiple questions in an exercise, the questions are indicated with the letters a-z in alphabetical order. Default AlgebraKiT behavior is to also show these indicators to a student when making the exercise. They are used as subpart indicators of the exercise. These are customer specific settings. For more information contact your AlgebraKiT representative.

A question contains an instruction and one or more interactions.

Inserting an instruction

The question content is constructed as a vertical sequence of blocks. Each block can be a text block or an interaction block. It is also possible to insert some math interactions within a text sentence. These are called inline interactions. See Inserting an inline interaction in the question text editor for more information.

You can insert mathematical formulas using the $f(x)$ button in the editor menu.
