Here's an example of a Show Your Work question.

Teachers can upload docs, PDFs, or images to the background (or leave it blank), and students can draw and type on top. Students can also upload photos and docs to the Show Your Work space.

Click "Show Your Work" and try graphing x > -2 on the number line using the tools on the toolbar to the left.

Here's an example of a Numeric question.

This provides a Math keyboard for students to use to type their answer:

Teachers can also add images, videos, emojis, and audio to any question!

Determine the volume of this rectangular prism:

Don't forget units!

Here's an example of a Numeric question + Show Your Work.

You can add a Show Your Work workspace to ANY other question type! This means you can see how students got to their final answer - and get Formative to grade the final answers for you 😎

Watch the video then solve the equation:

Use the Show Your Work space to show all your steps (the quadratic formula is there as a reminder). Then write your final answer in the format: x = a,b

You can even embed within a question! Here's an example of a calculator embedded into a Numeric question:

What is the value of angle T, to the nearest degree?

You can use this calculator to help you:

Teachers can use \LaTeX in Formative to type any kind of Math notation. Formative uses Katex to render TeX, and you can see a list of supported Katex functions here.

Check out this example of a multi-line equation created using \LaTeX:

Study this solution:

\begin{aligned} 3x + 2 &= x - 5 \\ 3x + 2 {\color{red} -x} &= x - 5 {\color{red}- x} &\text{ subtract $x$ from both sides} \\ 2x + 2 &= -5 \\ 2x + 2 {\color{red} - 2} &= -5 {\color{red} -2} &\text{Subtract $2$ from both sides} \\ 2x &= -7 \\ {\color{red}\dfrac{{\color{black}2x}}{2}} &= {\color{red}\dfrac{{\color{black}-7}}{2}} &\text{ Divide by 2 to isolate $x$}\\ x = -\dfrac{7}{2} \\[2pc] 3{\color{red}\left(\dfrac{-7}{2}\right)} + 2 &= {\color{red}\left(\dfrac{-7}{2}\right)} - 5 &\text{Substitute ${\color{red}\dfrac{-7}{2}}$ in for $x$ to check}\\ -\dfrac{21}{2} + \dfrac{4}{2} &= \dfrac{-7}{2} - \dfrac{10}{2} \\ -\dfrac{17}{2} &= -\dfrac{17}{2}\checkmark&\text{ So, $\boxed{x = -\dfrac{7}{2}}$ satistifies the original equation!} \end{aligned}
