Is there a way to include insert math equations as answers in quizzes?

I am trying to create quizzes for my math students to take.  I love that I am able to insert equations into the question box, but I have not been able to use this same feature when it comes to answers. Any suggestions or is this not a possibility?

Hi  @jamie_nelson  Welcome to the Canvas Community!  First of all, I will start off by telling you that I am about as far from being a math/equation expert as one can imagine, but with that caveat I can tell you that, yes, it IS possible though not immediately obvious when editing a quiz.  I'm assuming you are using the current/traditional quiz engine and not Quizzes.Next, but the following screen capture will show you how to get to the editor.  Hover your mouse over the first answer text box, and you will see a pencil to the far right:

Quiz answer editor

Click that pencil, and you will be in the same rich content editor that you see everywhere else in Canvas, including (yes) the math equation editor button.

I hope this helps, Jamie!
