Starting your first topic and taking lessons

How topic quizzes and lessons work on Eedi, and what to expect the first time you take one 🚀

Eedi works by combining topic quizzes and lessons. Topic quizzes help us understand what to teach you next, and lessons are where you build that skill up.

How topic quizzes work

You'll start by choosing a topic — we'll recommend one for you, or you can search for a topic yourself. To begin, click "Start topic."

Each topic quiz has 5 multiple-choice questions, with four answer options (A, B, C, D) per question. You get 2 attempts at each question.

  • Answer correctly → you move on to the next question.

  • Get it wrong on your second attempt → you're taken straight into a lesson on that question before continuing.

Taking a lesson

Lessons are made up of teach videos and 4 different practice questions. The videos show you examples of similar questions, and a teacher shows you exactly how to work out the answer, whilst also explaining why.

You can answer questions in a lesson by typing in the text box, using the Maths keyboard or clicking the buttons when prompted. If the question asks you to draw a diagram, table or graph, draw those in your book and type "done".

Questions in the lesson are intended to be self-marked; we give you the correct answer so that you can compare it to yours.

If you want to check in more detail or see how a teacher would answer the question, there's a solution video for every question.

Click "Watch solution video"

💡 Lessons usually take around 15 minutes, but there's no time limit — take as long as you need.

We recommend you have a pen and paper for your working out, and the volume turned up so you can hear the videos.

Once you've finished the lesson, you'll answer a diagnostic question with options A, B, C and D, just like the question you started with. You'll get another two attempts at this question, before continuing the topic quiz.
