Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mentimeter<\/a> is a cloud-based polling tool with which you can allow your students to interact through your presentation in real-time, where you can add questions, such as \u2018Multiple Choice\u2019, \u2018Word Cloud\u2019, \u2018Open Ended\u2019, \u2018Type Answer\u2019, images, videos and more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now also include mathematical symbols in your presentation by wrapping LaTeX code in dollar signs ($). This will render equations and formulas neatly in real time, making it easier for your audience to follow complex concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will show you how to add LaTeX to your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is LaTeX?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
