Can students write fractions, indices and maths working?

Yes.

• Every answer box has a Text / Maths switch. In Maths, students can type fractions, indices, roots and other notation, and see it laid out properly. Answer boxes start in Maths for questions that look mathematical.
• You can write maths and science notation into your own questions, answer options and explanations.
• In Live Quizzes and Assessments, a file upload question lets students send a photo of their written working, so you can see the method as well as the answer.

Number questions mark a numeric answer automatically from your answer key.
