Built into this math activity, as well as all practice activities on "I Know It," are several features that help students make the most out of their math practice time. Students can click on the "Hint" button if they need a little extra help answering a question; they will be shown a relevant written or pictorial clue that will help them read the bar graph in question. When students answer a question incorrectly, a detailed explanation page will appear, showing them the correct answer with a custom graphic or step-by-step tutorial on how to obtain it.
