Figure 5.4: Explanation Page

Like the item page, the explanation page (Fig. 5.4) begins with the title of the current item and an instance of that item. The answer to the problem is supplied at the end of the explanation.

Here again, mathematical terms are linked to Dictionary definitions. The system may suggest looking up certain key terms to help with the explanation (especially if the explanation has already been visited). At the bottom of the page is the "Practice" button. Clicking on this button produces a new instance of the same problem-type. Sometimes there may also be a button for "Additional Explanation" or "Detailed Explanation."

You can always return to the pie chart to choose a different topic by clicking on the "MyPie" icon.
