Math problem solver template for Google Sheets (Algebra, Fractions, Quadratic, & more)

A resource that provides a very useful math problem solving template for Google Sheets, which makes solving math problems very easy

You probably know that math can be done in a spreadsheet, but this Google Sheets template makes solving math problems incredibly easy.

All you have to do is simply enter the values into the appropriate cells, and the math solver will calculate the answer for you without you having to type any formulas.

The math problem solver template solves a very wide variety of math problems, from basic to more advanced mathematics. The template allows you to rapidly solve math problems, making it easy to enter new numbers into the cells so that the spreadsheet instantly solves the problems without having to worry about formulas.

How to use the math problem solver template

Click on the link to the template, and then click “Use Template” in the upper right corner of your screen. This will make a copy of the math problem solver template for you.
Simply enter the input values (the numbers that you want to calculate / perform math on) into the designated cells for each type of math problem (the light blue cells)
After entering your initial values, the template will calculate the answer and display it in the dark grey cells to the right of the input values for each problem

Basic math tab

The first tab in the tracker will allow you to do simple math problems, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.

This tab will make it very easy to solve math problems that deal with decimals, percentages, and fractions!

Algebra tab

The algebra tab can solve multiple types of algebra problems.

The left side of the tab will allow you to solve algebra problems that deal with circles and lines on a graph.

The right side of the tab will allow you to solve linear algebra problems, and it also has a place where you can solve a cross multiplication problem.

Here is a full list of the types of math problems that the algebra tab can solve:

Find the radius of a circle, given center and point
Find the radius of a circle, given an equation
Find the center of a circle, given an equation

Find the Y-Intercept of a line, given the slope and a point
Find the Y-Intercept of a line, given two points
Find the midpoint of a line, given two points
Find the slope of a line, given two points
Find the distance of a line, given two points

Solve for X in a linear equation

Quadratic tab

This tab is dedicated completely to solving quadratic equations / problems, and will make it much easier for you to get the answers that you need when solving quadratics.

Here are the answers that this tab will give you for quadratic equations:

X Vertex
Y Vertex
Discriminant
Number of solutions
Solution(s) (Where parabola touches X axis, i.e. X=2 and X=-2)
Factors

Note that although the template shows the solution for any valid quadratic problem (without imaginary answers), it will only display the factors for quadratic equations if they have an “A” value of 1.
