Just a heads up. Anki does not officially support Latex coding in the note’s templates. The manual says as much.

This practice messes up the cards especially on AnkiWeb. I found out the hard way. I tried that a few months back and eventually every card spat out use Tools->Check while reviewing. It’s a nice way to wrap your content and save a few steps but…alas.

I have a question regarding this approach: were you able to get Cloze deletions to work?

I’m trying out Anki for studying math and had just decided all-LaTeX cards were going to be the way to go. This post has saved me a ton of time figuring out enough of how Anki works to make that happen. Thank you!

“Let the students learn themselves” <3! I would also add to the list, purposefully leading the students to fail. I sometimes can anticipate misconceptions and give them a problem I know they will get wrong. Then I challenge to figure out where they went wrong and what the correct solution is. This way it's a lot more memorable than if I spoonfed them the correct answer and where their misunderstanding is.

This setup also normalizes failure to understand as a healthy part of the learning process and not something to be anxious or ashamed about 🙂 If you feel that there is enough mutual respect, you can also give them examples or pretend to fail (or really fail) as well in front of them :3

{Hi|Hey} Cathy! That's quite the variety of spam {messages|comments} you have there. It must have took {forever|ages} to copy and paste all of that.
