Previewing Your Problem
Use the Preview button to see exactly how the problem will appear for your pupils. This lets you check formatting, images, and maths entry before assigning it.
Adding Images
You can include two types of images:
Problem Image: Appears alongside the question.
Canvas Image: Placed in the answer area so pupils can annotate directly on it.
Writing Your Question
Type your question directly into the editor. We’ll automatically detect maths and format it as an equation.
For advanced maths, use the symbol palette on the right. Click More for additional symbols.
Maths Entry Settings
When writing the correct answer, you can use your keyboard or the maths symbols provided.
You can also control how answers are evaluated:
Require format: Pupils must match the format you used (e.g.,

1/2instead of2/4).

Double-check your answer formatting.
