All of these tools can be enabled for an entire assessment in the Assessment activity editor > Activity tab.

To enable the Calculator, Protractor, Ruler, and Companion material for the entire assessment, scroll to the bottom of the Activities tab:

1. Check the boxes next to the desired tools.
2. Click Add material to attach Companion material.

You can also enable the Calculator, Protractor, Ruler, and Companion material for specific questions in the question editor. For tools to appear only with the questions they are enabled for, set up the assessment to show one question at a time.

When enabled, the assessment Description is always allowed for all questions. It is enabled by entering the desired text in the Assessment activity editor's Content field.

The Protractor and Ruler tools maintain their dimensions regardless of screensize to retain accuracy. If you are inserting images into a question to use with the these tools, be sure to fix the size of the image so it doesn't adjust if students narrow their window size.

To do so, enter the desired Width in the Edit media window that appears when you insert the image (you can also access Edit media by clicking the image). This ensures that every student sees the image the same and can get accurate measurements.

In Fill in the Blank questions that ask for numbers, any number within 1% of the correct answer is considered correct. Buzz also allows you to enter a range of numbers to accept as correct to set up your desired margin of error.

To do this, enter the range of accepted answers with two periods between the thresholds. If you want to accept between 1.75 and 2.25, you would enter 1.75..2.25 as the correct answer.
