Math Input for Google Forms

Insert and render mathematical notation in Google Forms responses using a WYSIWYG LaTeX editor.

Math for Google Forms lets students and teachers write mathematical expressions directly inside Google Forms answer fields — no copy-pasting from external equation tools required. How it works A small math button appears next to supported answer fields in Google Forms. Clicking it opens a visual math editor where students can build expressions by typing, using shortcuts, or clicking built-in symbol buttons. When they click Insert, the math is placed into the answer field and shown in rendered form. Teachers can also preview supported math formats while editing forms, working with answer keys, reviewing responses, and viewing correct-answer summaries.
