Can my students type their answers into Mathspace?

Type in answers using a browser. Use the toolbar and keyboard shortcuts to enter special symbols.


If your students are using a browser (rather than the Mathspace app), they will be able to type their answers into Mathspace. The latest two versions of the following browsers are supported:

  • Chrome

  • Safari for macOS

  • Microsoft Edge

 

If students need to enter in special symbols, such as multiplication, division or indices, they can use the toolbar provided. Many of the common symbols will also have a keyboard shortcut displayed, which your students will be able to use efficiently after some experience with Mathspace.

Note: copy and pasting symbols and/or answers into the answer box can cause unpredictable behaviour.
