Best for assessing computation accuracy and concept recognition. Include one clearly correct answer and three plausible distractors.
Example
What is 7 × 8? A) 54 B) 56 C) 63 D) 72

Example
Solve: 3x + 7 = 22. Show all steps.
True / False with Justification
Add a 'Why?' line after T/F questions to prevent guessing and build mathematical reasoning.
Example
True or False: All squares are rectangles. Explain your answer.
Fill in the Blank
Efficient for vocabulary, formulas, and fact recall. Works well as a warm-up or exit ticket.
Example
The perimeter of a rectangle is _____ × (length + width).
