The answers are working well at providing clear guidelines in maths as a feature, but they are too small to be obvious and the answer tiles are too big, so that answer is not visible on screen by default. As a consequence, learners tend not to engage with answers, even if they get it wrong. The user interface therefore needs reviewing so that answers are clearly visible , especially if students get wrong answer, they should need to acknowledge that they have understood why their answer is incorrect. If there is a bug, then they should be able to express concern or ask for more clarity or flag for teacher assistance. Ideally they should be able to ask for alternate explanation of reason and be able to listen to one if that option were selectable. Often times struggling students need different approaches as one explanation is not accessible to everyone.
