This a Moodle question type which extends the Calculated question type. Teachers can create questions like,
How much is {apples} + {oranges}?
- where the {wildcards} become M and N × images of apples and oranges respectively. It is aimed at pre/primary-school students (approximately age 3-10).

Currently supported wildcards: apple, orange, pear, pineapple, walnut, cookie (each with or without an 's', eg. {cookies} and with an optional differentiator). For example,
{apples_1} - {apples_2}
Tested with Moodle 1.9.7.
