Add a math formula

Show equations and scientific notation in your Riddle. Formulas are written in LaTeX and rendered with MathJax, so fractions, roots, and symbols display correctly on every device. Use this for maths and physics quizzes, or learning quizzes for schools and education providers.

In rich text fields

1. Click on the text field you want to edit. An RTE options bar will appear above the text field.
2. Click on the ••• icon top right and select Math formula.
   
3. Enter your formula into the LaTeX field, e.g. x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}. The Preview shows how it will look.
4. Enable Display as block (centered on its own line) if the formula should stand on its own line. Leave it disabled to show the formula inline within your text.
   
5. Click on INSERT. The formula appears as a pill in the text field.
   
6. To change or remove a formula, click on the pill, edit the LaTeX, and click on SAVE, or click on DELETE.

Shortcut: You can also type an inline formula straight into the text field. As soon as you type the closing \) of \(\sqrt{16}\), it turns into a formula pill.

In answer options

Answer options are plain text fields without an options bar. Type the LaTeX directly into the answer:

• Inline formula: \( ... \), e.g. \(x = \pm 3\)
• Block formula (centered on its own line): \[ ... \] or $$ ... $$, e.g. \[\frac{1}{2}\]

In the Creator you see the code. In the preview and the published Riddle, the formula is rendered.

Why doesn't $...$ work? Single dollar signs are not supported on purpose, so prices such as "$5 or $10" stay plain text.

In uploaded files

When you create a Riddle from file upload or import questions into a Question Bank, write formulas into your CSV file with the same syntax:

• Question: What is \(\sqrt{16}\)?
• Answer: \(x = \pm 3\)
• Question with a block formula: Which is \[\frac{1}{2}\]?

Example: maths quiz for a school class

1. Create a quiz with Single-select questions.
2. In the question title, type Solve \(2x + 4 = 10\). The formula turns into a pill.
3. Enter the answer options \(x = 3\), \(x = 7\), and \(x = -3\), and mark \(x = 3\) as correct.
4. For a longer set, put all questions into a CSV file and upload it to a Question Bank, so every student gets a random selection.

Clear styles

All styles that might be copied with text from other sources such as Microsoft Word are now stripped automatically. However, you can also do this manually.
