Students are able to draw points, lines, circles, and other shapes over a coordinate plane using the new geometry interaction. Creators can add a prompt and change the background image. Students can choose from the various tools as well as undo and redo. 

The interaction can be set up to:

  • Provide students a gridded palette area next to a scored math item they can use to figure out an answer.
  • If set up to be manually scored, the student's drawing can be scored to an aligned standard or multiple traits. See also: Set Up Manual Scoring.
