You can type in the text yourself. An alternative is even to use screenshots from the text (HTML version). GitHub is just there so you can access the source code and original image files.

Thanks, that makes sense, and is a nice consolidated way of doing things. I’ll have a small number of groups, so I think I will create a master doc, and will distribute that one link to students. Within that master doc, I will place links to the breakout room docs. I wanted to have a master doc anyway that could serve as a backchannel for chatting during breakout rooms, since Zoom won’t let the breakout groups message the host (only raise hands). So the master doc will contain a link to Breakout Doc i and a space for questions from Breakout Room i, for i = 1,…,n. I can monitor the master doc for questions, as well as open each group’s doc in a separate browser tab. And students and I can typeset equations using the equation editor.

My understanding is that the main reason Sheets was chosen over Docs is that it enables the instructor to be able to more easily toggle among groups while students work, plus it enables a single URL for where to send the students for the activity and then direct them to a tab. Maybe there’s a better way, but I think if a person wanted to do it in Docs and had 8 groups, they’d need to have 8 separate Google docs, each with an individual URL, to send the students to.
