This Year View
The This Year tab shows student progress for the current school year.
Teachers can view:
standards aligned to the current grade level
overall student mastery
class progress across standards and domains
areas where students may need additional support
This view helps teachers monitor learning and guide instruction throughout the school year.
Historic View
The Historic tab allows teachers to review student performance from the previous school year.
For US users, this view displays progress based on prior grade-level standards.
Teachers often use this view to:
understand incoming student readiness
identify unfinished learning
support intervention planning
compare growth over time
How Progress Is Calculated
Student Activity
A student is considered active once they solve at least one problem connected to a skill in Magma Math.
Students who have not attempted any problems are excluded from Progress calculations.
Skill Evaluation
Each skill is evaluated using the student’s most recent work.
Magma reviews:
up to the last 10 attempted problems for a skill
first attempts only
Skill Status
Status | Meaning |
✅ Achieved | Student answered at least half correctly |
❌ Not Achieved | Student answered less than half correctly |
🔄 Skill Lost | Student previously achieved the skill but recent performance dropped below the threshold |
Because Progress reflects recent understanding, skills can change over time as students continue practicing. Only skills students have actively attempted are included in calculations.
Standards and Skills
In Magma Math:
standards contain multiple skills
skills contain multiple problems
As students solve problems, they work toward mastering the skills connected to each standard. The Progress tab combines this information to show overall student and class mastery across standards and domains.
Why the Progress Tab May Look Different from Assignment Results
Teachers may notice that assignment results appear mostly green while the Progress tab still shows lower mastery in some standards.
This happens because:
assignments often assess only a few skills
the Progress tab measures mastery across all attempted skills within a standard
For example:
a student may perform well on a single assignment skill
but still need additional work on other skills connected to that same standard
In short:
assignments show performance on specific tasks
the Progress tab shows broader mastery across standards and skills
This provides a more complete picture of long-term student understanding.
