Hey Math teachers, here is how Microsoft Forms can help you create quizzes for easier assessments!
Create a Math type question

Mina Spasic Thanks for the quick response! I started playing around with a test quiz and was able to get the equation editor to show up when I added a 'Math' subtitle to the question and left the student response as not 'Long answer' (see question 5 below). I then went back and removed the subtitle and the equation editor remained in the student view. So then I created another question where I just typed an equation in the text of question without ever creating the 'Math' subtitle(see question 6). The student response once again allowed equation editor. However, my first free text response question doesn't contain any math and doesn't allow an equation editor in the response(see question 2). This sort of makes sense now that I've been through all these different question types, but why isn't it just a toggle switch while building the form "Enable equation editor for responses"? Hiding the functionality in some sort of text interpreter where the flags for turning it on and off are not explicit makes inducing behavior very frustrating from the form builder perspective and will lead to widely varied builder inputs. I.e., You'll get instructors putting random "=" at the end of their questions because that's how they know to get math turned on in the response block.
Further, how do I get math turned on for long answers? If I ask my statistics students to conduct a hypothesis test on some data, the response I expect from them includes some mathematical symbology and is certainly longer than a single line.
