Several features are available in I Know It math practice activities to help children make the most of their practice sessions. A "Hint" button offers a practical clue to point students in the right direction when they become stuck on a math problem. A detailed explanation page offers step-by-step instructions when students answer a question incorrectly to help them learn from their mistakes. The progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the math lesson. A score-tracker informs students how many questions they have answered correctly so far. Plus, a read-aloud button allows children to hear the math problem read out loud to them in a clear voice—a handy tool for ESL/ELL learners or students who are auditory processors.
