Comments:
Quality of Technological Interactivity: Limited (1)
Students enter estimate into box and then the "correct" answer is shown. Motivating in the short term to get closer.
Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)
The primary user would be students to practice and build understanding of content. Not necessarily a tool for teachers.
