I want to make a box for my daughter in order to fill in the blank. But it is not nice. How can I repair the boxes?
1 Answer
Here is a suggestion:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand{\pbox}[1]{\boxed{\phantom{#1}}}
\begin{document}
$ \pbox{2015} + 2016 = 4031 $
\medskip
$ \pbox{1} + \pbox{2} + \pbox{3} = 6 $
\medskip
$ \pbox{f(x)} = ax^2 + bx + c $
\medskip
$ \dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{\pbox{3}}{5} $
\end{document}
The contents is set as a \phantom
inside a \boxed
(from amsmath
).

@Werner Can I get a square box? If I use
$ 12 \mathbin{\pbox{>}} 5 + 6 $
not nice. Dec 28, 2016 at 4:00 -
@toandhsp: Try with
$ 12 \mathbin{\pbox{\vphantom{>}\rule{1ex}{0pt}}} 5 + 6 $

\vcenter
option. There are other ways, but I think this suffices.\[\vcenter{\hbox{\rule{0.35cm}{0.35cm}}} + 2016 = 2017 \]
