Live Activity Overview

With Live Activity, teachers can monitor students’ calculations and answers as they work through exercises together. We recommend projecting Live Activity on a large classroom screen so everyone can follow along, collaborate, and stay motivated toward common goals.

Open the assignment just like you would for the Heatmap.

Look for the Live Activity button at the top right—it pulses when students start submitting answers

At the top of the Live Activity view, you’ll see student progress visualized along a path toward a goal flag. Milestones mark progress based on the percentage of the exercise completed:

Two icons help you quickly assess progress:

Students’ clear calculations appear live on screen as they submit answers. When displayed on a classroom screen, this transparency encourages students to show their thinking, boosts engagement, and sparks meaningful discussions about problem-solving strategies.

Calculations are anonymized by default, but you can toggle student names on or off by clicking the hat-and-glasses icon at the top right.

You’ll also see a running total of clear calculations at the top of the page — a handy way to celebrate progress

Below the calculations, you’ll find a list of the exercise’s tasks with their numbers and total count.

Watch for a small red dot next to any task number — this signals a common mistake. Clicking the task lets you view the problem, the typical error, and students’ incorrect answers.

This is the perfect moment to pause and work through the problem together as a class, turning errors into learning opportunities.

Live Activity is a new feature we’re excited to grow with you. Please share your feedback via chat — what’s working well and what could be better. Your input helps us build an even better tool!
