: within each level of equation (see below) there are a number of difficult graphs. Tap this button to cycle
through them. A dot on the button ( ) indicates that you are testing yourself on one of the difficult graphs.
: within each level of equation there are a number of less difficult graphs. Tap this
button to cycle through them. A dot on the button ( ) indicates that you are testing
yourself on one of the less difficult graphs.
: chooses various forms of equation: there are two in the Linear Explorer and four in
