In the Hot Spot interaction, the student responds by selecting one or more locations, or hot spots, on the screen. Some examples:

• Shading fraction models
• Completing line plots
• Selecting points on number lines
• Selecting total values (coins, base ten blocks, etc.)

You can create multiple choice and multi-select items with "target areas."
