Table of Contents

Add a Mathematical Expression or Equation

NAVIGATE: CREATE/EDIT → CREATE ASSIGNMENT → SKILLS TAB → CREATE YOUR OWN PROBLEM  

To insert a mathematical expression or equation into a teacher-created question, you can use our 'Math to Latex Converter.' LaTeX is a typesetting code or language commonly used for crafting mathematical expressions.
   
Simply type the expression or equation you wish to include, then click “insert.”
   
This action will convert the expression or equation into LaTeX code and insert it into the question prompt. A preview of how the question would appear for students will also be displayed below.
   

Additionally, you can copy the expression or equation by selecting and copying the LaTeX code provided below the input. From there, you can paste the LaTeX into the question prompt itself, a table, or within the text of a guided sentence.
   
For creating more advanced mathematical expressions, please select the “need more complex latex?” option. This will allow you to use a separate LaTeX editor and/or access a list of supported functions for composing more complex expressions.

Add a Graph

NAVIGATE: CREATE/EDIT → CREATE ASSIGNMENT → SKILLS TAB → CREATE YOUR OWN PROBLEM  

To add a graph to your question, click “Add a Graph.”
   

You can graph up to two equations at a time by entering them into the boxes for “Function 1” and “Function 2.”

 

By default, equations are graphed in black. To select a different color, use the “Color” drop-down menus to the right.
   
Using the settings at the top, you can change the size, window, and scale of your graph.
   
The width and height settings allow you to resize your graph.
   
The min and max settings determine the minimum and maximum values for the x- and y-axes, respectively.
   
The xscl and yscl settings allow you to adjust the scale of your x- and y-axes. Explore the examples below to see how you can adjust these settings to create graphs for your questions.

Graph Examples

Here are some example settings you can select to create different graphs.

 

 
 
To remove the graph from your question, click the “Remove Graph” button at the top.
