Google Slides is a great way to create presentations. One of the best features of Google Slides is the ability to insert equations. This can be very helpful if you’re creating a presentation that contains mathematical concepts.
It can be a bit confusing at first to figure out how to insert equations in Google Slides. But once you know-how, it’s actually quite easy. In this guide, we’ll show you how to insert equations in Google Slides.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. First, open the Google Slides document in which you want to insert the equation.
2. Then, create a text box by clicking on the T-shaped item in the toolbar.
3. A text box will appear on your slide. Then double click on the text box to go to edit mode. Now press Insert > Special Characters from the Google Slides menu bar.
4. Then select Symbol and Math in the last two dropdown boxes beside the “Insert special characters.”
5. Now you will find a bunch of options for different equations. You can either select an equation from the list or you can search for the list. You can also draw an equation by clicking on the box under the search bar.
