When Quiz Mode is enabled:
students cannot see whether answers are correct while working
correct answers remain hidden until the quiz is ended
teachers control when students can begin and review results
Before You Begin
We recommend students complete at least one regular assignment before using Quiz Mode so they can become familiar with the Magma Math experience.
Create a Quiz
Quiz Mode is enabled during the final step of assignment creation.
To create a quiz:
Create a new assignment.
Open Settings and Order.
Enable Quiz Mode.
Create the assignment.
Student and Teacher Experience
For Teachers
Quizzes appear in purple within the Assignments tab.
Teachers will see a Start button before students can access the quiz.
For Students
Students will also see the quiz in purple, but they cannot open it until the teacher starts the quiz.
Start the Quiz
When you are ready for students to begin:
Open the assignment.
Click Start.
While the quiz is active:
students answer questions and move forward using Next
students see a purple progress indicator showing completion progress
results and correct answers remain hidden
Pause the Quiz
Teachers can pause a quiz for all students at any time.
To pause a quiz:
Open the heatmap.
Click Pause.
While paused:
students cannot continue answering questions
progress remains saved
teachers can restart the quiz later by clicking Startanswer questions. You can restart the quiz later by clicking “Start” again.
End the Quiz
When you are ready to release results:
Open the heatmap.
Click End.
Ending the quiz:
reveals correct and incorrect answers
allows students to review their work

If you do not want students to see results yet, pause the quiz instead of ending it. Teachers will still be able to monitor student progress through the heatmap while results remain hidden from students.
Manage Individual Student Status
Teachers can also start, pause, or end quizzes for individual students through the Status settings. This is useful when:
students need extended time
some students finish earlier than others
results should only be released to specific students
