Math Notation in Moodle Quiz Questions
TeX Notation
Moodle supports a script called TeX notation. TeX notation enables instructors to create quiz questions that include correct and clear mathematical symbols that look just like what students and instructors are used to working with in the classroom and assignments.
For most purposes, instructors can use a web-based tool to create formulas in TeX notation. This tool can be found here: Host Math
Using Host Math
- Type in numbers at the top of the tool, and use the box on the right to select the notation you want to include. The correct script will insert itself in the formula, and the bottom box will show how it will appear in the Moodle question.
- When the formula is complete, copy and paste the script into the Moodle question.
- Add $$ to the beginning and end of the script with no spaces.
Detailed instruction for using TeX in Moodle can be found here - Using TeX Notation
