See the Texthelp website for full details on the free versus premium versions. Note: The free version of Equatio works in Google Docs, while there is a premium upgrade option that also works in Google Forms, Slides, Sheets, and Drawings. Update: Equatio is available for installation from the Chrome Web Store now at: Equatio Chrome Web Store link Because it is a Chrome web extension, you need to be using the Chrome browser on a PC, Mac, or Chromebook to use Equatio. (Update: The full version of Equatio is now free for teachers.)Įquatio is a Chrome web extension that makes it easier to create and insert mathematical symbols and expressions, as well as scientific formulas when using Google Docs and Google Forms. Rather than being an add-on, this version of the tool is actually a Chrome extension, meaning eventually it will be able to work in many apps beyond just Docs and Forms. Recently I found out that g(Math) is getting an upgrade with a new name, new features, and new format! The new version is called Equatio and it makes it easier than ever to write with math and science symbols in Google Docs and Forms. This is an add-on for Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms, that provides a variety of ways to enter and insert mathematical expressions into these files. Technology seems to play best with normal letters and numbers, rather than exponents, subscripts, fractions, and such.Īlthough there are many tools to help address these issues, one I have often recommended has been g(Math). The same thing can be said in science when typing chemical formulas.

As a previous math teacher, I have a soft spot for the pains teachers and students can feel when trying to use math symbols and expressions in technology.
