Putting numbers in the non-guided solution

You can pick and put numbers in the answer two ways:

• Type a number at the keyboard. The pointer changes from an arrow to the number you pick.
• Use the number bar on the left side of the screen. Move the pointer over a number on the number bar. Click the number you 'pick' for the answer. The pointer changes from an arrow to that number.

Once the pointer shows the number you want, move the number to the right location in the answer. Click to "put" the number in place.

Erasing or deleting numbers in the non-guided solution

Press the Right Arrow key, or Delete, or click the arrow icon below the nine on the number bar at the left of the screen. The pointer changes from an arrow to an eraser. Then move the eraser over the number you want deleted. Click to make the number under the eraser disappear.
