Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I change the color of the dots on stack towers?
A: Counting dots automatically use high-contrast rendering based on selected color theme. For ink saving, switch to B&W (Coloring).
Q: How does this help teach greater than and less than?
A: Stack towers encode magnitude as height. Because 6 is taller than 4, visual comparison immediately supports 6 > 4 understanding.
