Practice Mode is a self-paced learning space where students can strengthen their understanding of key math skills. It’s designed to support remediation, reinforcement, and enrichment, all using the same interactive tools students are familiar with from assignments and quizzes.
Why Students Use Practice Mode
Students can practice skills as many times as they need, at their own pace.
Teachers can recommend skills based on assignment results, so students get targeted support right when they need it.
Every practice skill includes a short, instructional video that models how to solve a similar problem using clear, accessible strategies.
Students work on the same canvas and with the same manipulatives they use in assignments — making the practice experience comfortable and consistent.
How Practice Mode Works
Skill-Based Practice
Each Practice Mode card focuses on a specific math skill (for example, Add fractions with unlike denominators or Multiply two-digit numbers). Students see a mixture of problem types, and they can retry the skill as many times as they’d like.
Earn Stars ⭐
After completing a set of problems, students receive a star rating:
1 star: 50–69% correct
2 stars: 70–89% correct
3 stars: 90–100% correct
Students can move to the next skill once they earn at least 1 star.
How Teachers Use Practice Mode
1. Recommend Practice
Teachers can recommend specific practice skills to:
individual students
groups
or the whole class
Recommendations appear at the top of the student’s Practice tab.
2. See Student Progress
Teachers can track:
whether students attempted recommended skills
how many stars they earned
which skills students are improving on over time
Students’ practice attempts also help teachers identify patterns of misunderstanding and decide what to reteach or reinforce.
Where Students Find Practice Mode
Students can access Practice Mode anytime from the Practice tab on their dashboard. They can explore recommended skills or browse all available skills for their grade level.
