• Check Boxes (Multiple Choice Multiple Correct): Multiple choice questions with more than one correct answer and students will need to identify all answers
• Explicit Response: Questions where students will need to type in a response
3. Select whether the question is an Assessment Question or a Diagnostic Question.
4. Click  in the text box
5. Enter your math expression in the box that appears. You’ll see your formatted math expression appear as a preview in the text box
