The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Forgive me for a "dumb" question, but how do you type a fraction in Quizzes.Next? For some question types, I see the MathQuill option, but don't see a fraction, just something that looks like a fraction but does not have the -.
Is the Mathquill Toolbar coming to other question types like Fill-in-the-Blank and will it be available for students to use to respond?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Julie,
I'm not sure where the button is, but if you're creating a fraction in MathQuill, just using the / sign on your keyboard will turn whatever you're doing into a fraction. Hopefully that give you what you're looking for!
Thanks,
Sam

Thanks Sam! That is helpful and so simple!
Now, my only other question is: is the Mathquill Toolbar coming to other question types like Fill-in-the-Blank and will it be available for students to use to respond? #milliondollarquestion
Great questions that I'm not certain on
I hope so! I'm just going to wait and see.
Ah that works Sam, thanks! It would be nice if they added a button for it so it 's a bit clearer too. If you prefer the old style where the structure is there as well, you can type in \frac with a space to get the two grey boxes outlined.
