How to set up and personalize Find a number questions?

Engage your audience by asking them numerical questions to encourage participation and stimulate discussion. Assess participants' understanding by quizzing them on specific numbers, encouraging practical application of knowledge.


Create a Find a number question

First, open the event of your choice where you would like to add a Find a number question type. You can also start from scratch by creating a brand-new event.

Click on New question and find Find a number under Assess Understanding.

Looking for inspiration? Head over to the template page and download one of the existing templates for the Find a number question type!

You can also import an already created Find a number question from our Examples gallery. Head on to Examples gallery and choose Find a number under Question type. You can then add the question of your choice to your event.

Customize the Find a number question

Once you have opened your Find a number question type, you can personalise it and tailor it to your needs. Start by adding the question you want to ask (1). Then, enter the number you want the correct answer to be (2).

You can add a tolerance to your question. (3) For example, if your value is 206 and you set a tolerance of 6, answers between 200 and 212 will be considered correct. Once you have added a tolerance, you will find the range of correct answers underneath the field titled Correct answer.

☝️ Use tolerances when questions do not have a single correct answer. Sometimes, answers require a(n) (absolute or relative) tolerance.

If you don’t want your participants to be graded on this question, you can uncheck the little box next to the value (4).


Three options are available in the right-hand side menu:

  • The minimum and maximum value: If you add a minima and/or maximal value, participants will see a message saying the chosen number has to be between these values.

When you are done preparing your question, you can either click on Save or Display now at the bottom of the screen to start your Wooclap event.

Display the Find a number question

Once you have clicked on Display now or Display, the question you have prepared will appear on your screen. You can then invite your participants to join your event and answer.

The results view per default is the list view. It’s also possible to display the most frequent answers, the statistics and the correct answer 👇
