In this video, I'm going to show you how you can add mathematical expressions, something
like this, or something like this in a quiz in your google classroom, I will show you
a few methods and you can choose any one of those.
First I will start from a very simple method and then I will show you an online Equation
Editor, which you can use to make these mathematical expressions and put in your quizzes.
And we are starting right after this short break.
Hello, and welcome to my channel.
My name is Tahir here.
And if this is your first time, please hit the subscribe button and also the notification
bell to get notified whenever I post a new video on this channel.
First, I would like to show you one of my course quizzes.
This is algebra quiz, which I'm going to use as an example for Google Classroom quiz.
This quiz is created in latech.
And this is also interactive quiz.
But this quiz is designed for a physical classroom environment where teachers start the stopwatch
but I am going to show you how you can create these type of quizzes in your google classroom,
which is an online environment and where grading will be done automatically just like this
quiz.
But you will have to do a lot less work because in this quiz, you have to send the files you
have to receive the files and so on.
Now, let us move into our Google Classroom.
So this is my Google account.
If I click on these nine dots, then I scroll down and click on google classroom, I have
these two classes.
And I want to create a quiz in this class.
Let me show you how this class stays in my Google Drive.
So now I am in my Google Drive.
And when I create any class in Google Classroom, in my Google Drive, a folder is created, which
is called classroom.
And in this folder, I have these two classes staying here, you can rename this class, they
started a problem.
And if I click on this class, as you can see that there is no folder inside this class.
Actually, there is no file in this class.
Now let's go back to our class.
And now if I click on my class, and then classwork and then create, and no, if I create a quiz
assignment, see what happens when I create this quiz assignment, as you can see that
a Google Form is being created.
No, this is just like any other Google Form document, there is no difference.
The only thing is that this is a quiz form.
Now let me give this any title.
Let's say quiz one algebra, I can write some description here.
And now if I click on this Google Form, no, this opens in a new window.
And I am ready to create a quiz in our Google Drive a folder has been created with this
name.
And this is basically our quiz.
And now let's start creating our quiz.
And now we have to create these math expressions.
Because there is no work around this, we have to create this expression x square is equal
to four.
Now there are many ways to create this expression.
Now, let us start from the very easy method.
And that is by taking the screenshot of this expression, if you have this expression written
in a PDF, or in a Word document, or on website somewhere.
So for example, here, I have created this PDF, and I have this expression.
So what I can do is I can simply press print the screen on my computer, there is a button,
then I open paint, and inside paint, I simply paste like this, then I click on this selection
window.
And when this crosshair appears, I simply select this part, and I click cut File, New,
don't save pace, I can adjust the size, and then I save this file in my computer.
No, this is something for organization that you must have a folder quizzes in your main
course folder, and then you can have all the individual quizzes in that, for example, this
is quiz one, then there is a folder images.
And if I click on this, these are the questions because for every question, I need images,
images of mathematical expressions, which are stored in this.
So if I click on question one, I can save this image here.
So because I have already saved this image previously, I can simply save this as Q dot
png.
So just like that, and I save you will not get this message if you are doing this first
time and now this image is saved.
So this is the easiest method, but you have to save a lot of images.
For example, in this question number three, you have to save question because it also
has a math expression then you have to save all these four options as images.
Now, if you don't have this PDF, then what you can do is you can create a new document,
so a new Google document.
And because I am creating a document inside this class folder, so it is showing me this
message.
So I say, okay, create and share.
And now you can give it a name, such as expressions.
And here, you can write this mathematical expression by using the equation and insert,
and then you have to click on this equation, and you will see that this bar appears here,
which has these five tabs.
And even you have some other symbol x raised to the power superscript subscript r ns root.
So our equation is something like this.
So we click on x raise to the power b, and we say x.
If you are familiar with word style of equation, it is nearly the same.
So this might be easier for some of you.
So you type all the math expressions in this document, then you can save this document
as a PDF, then you can take the screenshots and save them as images.
So this is the method which you might already are doing are following.
Because this is the easiest approach.
As you can see that in my folder, I have extracted all these images by using this method.
And once you have all these images inside your folder, you can keep it there in your
folder, or better if you can upload on your Google Drive.
Or even better if you upload on Google Photos.
No, I am inside my Google Photos.
And what I can do is I can I just type photos.google.com.
And no, I can upload all those images from my computer upload computer.
And now my images are in my photos.
And now we can create a question, this will be a multiple choice question.
And if I click on this arrow, there are some other choices available short answer paragraph
checkboxes drop down, we might also use drop down.
But let's say we use multiple choice, and we have to type the question.
Question one.
And then I can write evaluate x if.
And then I can put something like this.
And no, I click on this image sign.
And I can click on this photos.
And this is my first image not shown here.
But I know this is x squared equals four.
So I click on that, and I click Insert.
Now this image is here now and I have to change this to multiple choice.
I know this is my question, evaluate x if x squared equals four, and now I have to insert
some options.
So let's say we use the same option 862186, and two, which is the correct option, then
one, and as you can see that these options also have this image option.
And this is what you can do in question number two, will you have mathematical expressions
in the options as well?
And since it is a quiz, we have this answer key.
So if I click on that, no, I have to give the correct option.
And I can also assign points.
So let us say this question is of two points, and this is the correct answer.
And now I click Done.
And since I can't see here, so what I can do is I can take a preview, if I click on
preview, it will show me how it will look to a student.
And let's click on this to and submit.
So it will show this message to our students.
And if I click View score, it will even show me the score that I have got two out of two.
So this is one way of creating math expressions in your Google Classroom quizzes do I close
this and this as well.
And now I'm going to show you a second method of writing mathematical expression.
Now the second question I want to use is this one.
But before I do that, because in this question, I have to create these five expressions, I
would like to show you that if you don't have this PDF, and if you want to create these
five mathematical expressions, or even 50 in latech, it is very easy.
On my channel, you have a lot of videos about latech or to write equations in latech.
And I will put some links in this video.
So you can watch and you can learn.
But I'm just going to give you a very quick example.
So these are three expressions, which I have written in latech.
And on the left hand side, as you can see that there is only four lines of code, three
here and one at the end.
This is just four lines of code which I have to write in order to produce this PDF.
This is the PDF.
And this is the way the first expression is written x raised to the power two.
And in latech.
We whenever we write math, there are a few ways but one of the ways is this that we put
dollar sign Then we type x, and then this head sign and then to it will produce as x
square in the PDF.
Similarly, for cube root, we have this expression, sq RT, then in square brackets, whatever is
the root value, for example, third root three, fourth root four, and then in the curly brackets,
you put whatever is inside.
So very simple to understand.
And I'm sure that you guys are intelligent enough to understand these simple expressions.
Now, let us talk about the third one for a fraction, we use backslash freq.
And then to pair of curly brackets in the first pair of curly bracket, we have numerator
in the second pair of curly bracket, we have denominator, which is three.
And then the next curly bracket is because this whole is as a power of x.
So we have x and head and then a set of curly brackets all around for action.
Very simple.
So if you are teaching math up to high school, you probably need maybe five or seven more
commands like this, and you will be good to go for all of your quizzes.
So it's not very hard, you just have to install latech, which is free, absolutely free, this
technically is free.
So I have a complete tutorial on that, a beginners tutorial on my channel, you can watch that
I will put a link here, and you can create all these expressions.
And this new line expression means that I want to add a little bit of distance between
these two.
So this is a new line.
And these two double backslash, also insert a line here, I wanted to show you two different
methods of inserting a line.
So these are two methods.
So I wanted some gap here so that I can screenshot and I can extract these three images for my
Google Classroom quiz.
Now I'm going to show you another method of writing this equation straight into Google
Form.
It was important for me to show you this later, because the next method I'm going to show
you also uses latech.
But it is an online Equation Editor.
And if you type this on Google online, Equation Editor, and enter, the first result is called
covid.com.
And this is the website where we can directly create latech equations.
And if I click on that, and no on this website, you can also write latech equations.
And if you hover over this area, you will see this amnet root symbol, if I click on
that, this symbol will appear here.
And now I have to write three here and x in the curly brackets.
So I will get to the root of x.
And know what I do is I have to copy this URL.
Here at the bottom, you will see this URL option.
Or if you click here, you have other options later, you have WordPress, HTML.
But we are interested in URL here.
So I got this URL.
And no, I copied this URL, or Ctrl.
C. And now in my Google Classroom quiz, I click on this plus to add Next question.
And then I write something which describes the question.
And I have to make this statement, which makes sense.
For example, I can write choose an alternate way of writing the following expression, something
like that.
And no, I click on the image icon again, last time I inserted with photos, this time, I
will use this by URL option.
I click on that, and paste URL of image Ctrl V. And now I will see this math expression
as an image here.
And I can simply click on Insert Image.
And now it will insert the image which is underneath these three dots.
So again, I can preview by clicking on the Preview button.
And as you can see, my question is ready?
No, I need options.
So if I go back to my question, my options are x rays to the power one by two minus one
by two, one by three and minus one by three.
No, again, I go here, and as you can see that I need this fraction, and I need this power
both.
So what I can do is, so I delete this and no, I can start from this power or I can start
from this fraction.
So I start from this x ray to the power a and no I put x here and this is the point
where I have to put the power but the power is in friction.
So I have to click on friction inside this bracket.
And I will get again two options one and two and x rays to the power one divided by two
will appear here.
If I want minus one by two, I simply click minus, and so on.
And now what I can do is, I can again, copy this Ctrl C, the URL, and now I click on option
number one, and image by URL Ctrl V, it will appear here Insert Image.
So what I can do is instead of option one, I can simply say, a no at the end if I like
I can give this quiz or Name something like this.
So this is how you add mathematical expressions to your quizzes in your Google Classroom.
So I hope you like this video if so please give it a thumbs up.
Thanks for watching and see you next time.
