Writing math equations
All right, math and science teachers. It's time to take a look at a function that's going to save you a lot of time, and help you create higher quality work for your students. Here, we're going to take a look at how to use equations properly inside of Microsoft Word. If you're like me, for many years I wrote equations just as you can see on the screen. To do one half plus 3 4ths, I would use a forward slash between the one and the two to indicate a fraction. I would use the built in plus sign on the keyboard, and then the same thing for 3 4ths. Down here, for the 16 times 4 divided by 8, to indicate division, I would also use a forward slash. And then, often, if it got too complicated, I would just use words. So instead of actually putting the quadratic equation into a paper, I would just say, use the quadratic equation to solve for, and then give them the problem. We can work a little bit smarter, and make sure we give our students a better experience by using the built in equation…
