For teachers and tutors
TypeMaths is a free online maths editor for making worked examples and worksheets. Type the working line by line — sqrt, int, / and ^ typeset as you go, Enter copies the step down — add the question wording as a line of prose, and every line numbers itself. Export the page as .tex for your own documents, screenshot it into a handout or a slide, or share a link so students can follow the steps.

Derive the quadratic formula by completing the square.
ax2+bx+c=0Divide through by a.
x2+abx+ac=0Complete the square, then move the constants across.
(x+2ab)2=4a2b2−4acTake the square root of both sides.
x+2ab=±2a√b2−4acThe + on a line adds the prose above it. Line numbers cycle: 1 → a → i → hidden.
TypeMaths does not do your maths for you. It removes everything between having a thought and seeing it written down properly.
sqrt, int, "/" and "^" typeset as you go. Add the question wording with a "+" — a line of ordinary text above the working — and the lines number themselves: 1, a, i.
Press Enter and the line copies to the next; change only what changed. The equals signs stay aligned, so the worked example reads like the board, not like a word processor.
Evaluate any line that reduces to numbers and the result appears beneath it — a marking check built into the writing.
Screenshot into a handout or a slide, export as .tex for your own documents, or share a link so students follow the steps in their browser. Or start them on a library worksheet, which checks their answers.
Three worked examples, animated exactly as they would be typed. The ready-made worksheets are further down.
Physics
Work the algebra the way you would on paper. When you reach numbers, TypeMaths evaluates them — with your rounding and angle units.
A car accelerates from 10 m/s to 25 m/s over 120 m. Find a.
v2=u2+2asu = 10, v = 25, s = 120
a=2×120252−102⌘+Enter evaluates (25²−10²)/(2×120) = 2.1875, shown to 2 decimal places.
Chemistry
Reaction arrows and equilibrium arrows are relations, the same as = and ≤ — choose one per line and the columns stay aligned.
Balance the combustion of propane.
C3H8+O2→CO2+H2O3 carbons, and 8 hydrogens make 4 waters.
C3H8+O2→3CO2+4H2OThat needs 6 + 4 = 10 oxygens, so 5 O₂.
C3H8+5O2→3CO2+4H2OReversible reactions take ⇌ instead.
N2+3H2⇌2NH3→ and ⇌ come from the same relation dropdown as = and ≤.
Calculus
Type the integral, write the antiderivative, substitute the limits — then let TypeMaths do the arithmetic.
⌘+Enter on the substituted line evaluates (27+9)−(1+1) and writes 34 underneath.
Each one opens in the editor with the questions set and the answers checked when a student presses Check. Copy one into your own page and change what you like.
A page is a worksheet: every line numbers itself (1, a, i) and a "+" puts the question text above the working, so the sheet reads the way you would set it.
Six ready-made worksheets — quadratics, the chain rule, definite integrals, SUVAT, balancing equations, row reduction — each of which checks a student's answers.
Screenshot mode renders the page as black-on-white typesetting, ready for a handout, a slide or a marking scheme.
A .tex file for your own documents, a read-only link for students, and import to bring a colleague's sheet in and change it.
Type them the way you would write them on the board. In TypeMaths each step is a line, Enter copies the line down so the next step starts from the last, and the equals signs stay aligned. A "+" adds the question wording as prose above any line, and the lines number themselves.
Yes — a TypeMaths page is a worksheet. Numbered questions, prose lines for the wording, and typeset working underneath: fractions, roots, integrals, matrices, chemical equations with the right arrows. Export it as .tex, or flip to screenshot mode for clean black-on-white typesetting to paste into a handout.
No. Type sqrt, int, pi, "/" for a fraction and "^" for a power and they typeset as you go. The LaTeX is a by-product: Copy LaTeX or Export .tex gives you the whole page as amsmath whenever you want it in your own documents.
Screenshot mode renders the page as clean black-on-white typesetting to paste into Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint or a slide. For LaTeX documents, Copy LaTeX puts the page on your clipboard as an align* block, or Export .tex downloads it.
Share a read-only link to your page and students can follow the steps in their browser. The worksheet library has ready-made sheets — quadratics, the chain rule, definite integrals, SUVAT, balancing equations, row reduction — that students copy into their own page and that check their answers.
Yes. Reaction and equilibrium arrows are relations, the same as = and ≤, so a balanced equation lines up like any other working. Physics rearrangements evaluate with your choice of angle unit and decimal places.
Free, no account, and the worksheet is ready to export when you are.
