How Practice Mode Works
Next Up: Personalized Practice
When students select Start, Magma automatically recommends skills based on their recent assignment performance.
This helps students focus on:
Skills they may need additional support with
Recently missed concepts
Targeted skill review
What happens when a student struggles?
If a student struggles with a skill in Practice Mode, Magma automatically recommends a related foundational skill to help strengthen their understanding.
Students may receive an easier skill that builds toward the original concept.
If they continue to struggle, Magma may recommend additional foundational skills.
Once students successfully complete the easier skill, they return to the original skill.
Magma considers previously mastered skills when selecting recommendations.
For example, a student struggling with decimals to the thousandths may receive practice with decimals to the hundredths or place value before returning to the original skill.
This personalized approach helps students build the foundational understanding they need to progress with confidence.
Note: Teacher-recommended skills are not affected by these automatic adjustments.
Track Progress with the Progress Chart
At the top of the Practice tab, students see a progress chart showing growth across standards and domains. The chart reflects work completed in:
assignments
Practice Mode sessions
Because assignment performance is included, students may already show progress in a standard before directly practicing it in Practice Mode.
This helps students better understand:
what they’ve already mastered
where they still need support
how their learning is progressing over time
Browse by Domain and Standard
Students can explore practice content by:
domain
standard
topic area
Green checkmarks indicate standards where all associated skills have been completed.
This organization helps students:
navigate practice more easily
stay focused within a topic
track progress clearly
Earn Stars Through Practice
After completing a practice set, students receive a star rating based on accuracy.
Stars | Accuracy |
⭐ | 50–69% |
⭐⭐ | 70–89% |
⭐⭐⭐ | 90–100% |
Students unlock the next skill after earning at least 1 star and can always return later to improve their score.
Access Practice Mode Anytime
Students can open Practice Mode anytime from the Practice tab on their dashboard — even when no assignment is active.
