I want students to choose multiple equations they think matches a graph and then on the next screen, justify those choices based on the features of the equations. I like for them to be able to see the equations they are talking about, without having to flip back to a previous screen.

When I have them enter or modify the equation in an equation input component, I just use the component label to display their choice back to them. Is there a way to do the same thing with equations they have chosen from a multiple choice list?

I started trying with what I’ve attached here, but I thought there might be a smoother way I’m just missing. Plus, it doesn’t work yet because the when chooses only the first selected equation, not all of them. I don’t want to hard code a when line for a message for every possible combination of equations they could have chosen, but maybe that’s the only way?
