This a contributed Moodle question type which extends the Calculated question type.
Versions available
This plugin is available for Moodle 1.9 to 2.3
Wild cards
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.

Installation
- Download from the Moodle plugins database and unzip the archive. Copy the directory 'calculatedobjects' into the directory {MOODLE}/question/type/ on your server.
- Visit the administrator 'notifications' page, http://my.school/moodle/admin/ - there are no database changes for this question type.
Example use
- Add one question in the Question bank
- Write the question text
- Write the answer formula
- Populate the sets for the objects with reasonable values (1 to 10 in this case)
- Save the question and test it
Change log
- 2 September 2010/ Pre-"release" - [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-2308 CONTRIB-2308].
- 8 September 2010 - Added new clip art ('greenapple', 'tomato', 'cake', 'pencil', 'car'). Aliases: 'apple'=>'greenapple'. And, added all objects to language pack - CONTRIB-2334.
Acknowledgements
Thank you to:
- Wikimedia Commons and contributors for clip art/images.
- Open Clip Art Library and contributors for clip art/images.
- Quiz forum contributors and developers on Moodle.org, for valuable feedback.
ISSUES
- No English language strings in AMOS. See Moodle tracker issue
- missing 'pluginnamesummary' string . See GitHub solution
- Will use $string['pluginnamesummary'] = 'A version of calculated questions which extends the built-in 'calculated' question type. Teachers can create questions like, How much is {apples} + {oranges}.';
- This fixes this error
- When I installed the additional code checker plugin I could see many problems and locally fixed many of them.
- Moodle coding style must be used
- But now I do not know how to upload the changed code into GitHub :(
