For teachers of Maths and Science, it may sometimes be helpful to add symbols to your tracker as a way to increase clarity, both for yourself and on the students' reports. There are a few ways that you can do this, depending on the computer that you use.

The first would be to use the key command for your computer type to enter the cell into the box. For example, the delta symbol can be entered on a Mac with Option+J. You should be able to find a full list of symbol key commands for your computer by searching Google (ex. 'Math symbol key commands Dell Windows laptop').

Alternatively, you are able to copy the symbols from a different source and paste them into the text fields on Pupil Progress. We would tend to recommend the Wikipedia page on Mathematical operators and symbols in Unicode, as this contains a full list of the available symbols that you can enter into your tracker.
