The Progress Stats gives a clear overview of how students are progressing through standards and skills.
This Year Tab
The This Year tab shows the progress tab for the current school year. Teachers can see how students are performing on the standards assigned for their grade. This view provides a clear snapshot of student mastery and helps guide instruction throughout the year.
Historic Tab
The Historic tab allows teachers to review how students performed in the previous school year. For US users, this view shows progress based on the grade-level standards from the year before. This gives valuable insight into students’ prior knowledge and readiness for the current year.
How Progress Is Calculated
Student Activity
A student is considered active if they’ve solved at least one problem linked to any skill in Magma Math. Inactive students (who haven’t solved any problems) are excluded from the calculations.
Skill Evaluation
Each skill is evaluated based on the student’s last five problems that include that skill:
✅ Achieved: The student got at least half correct
❌ Not achieved: The student got less than half correct
🔄 Skill can be lost: If a student previously had the skill but now gets less than half correct, they lose it
A skill reflects a student’s most recent work, not just their past success.
3. Standards and Skills
Every grade in Magma Math is made up of standards, which in turn include skills and problems. When students solve problems, they work toward achieving the underlying skills within each standard. The Progress tab aggregates this information to show overall mastery per class.
Why the Progress Tab Might Look Different from Assignments
You might notice that a student’s assignments look “green,” but their Progress tab still shows red. This happens because assignments often focus on specific skills, while the Progress tab measures mastery across all skills within a standard or domain.
For example:
A standard might include several underlying skills. An assignment could cover just one of them, so a student can perform well (green on the assignment) but still appear red in the Progress tab until they’ve achieved the remaining skills.
Assignments show progress on the skills included in that task.
Progress tab shows how many of the total skills for that grade or standard have been achieved.
This gives a fuller picture of student learning beyond individual assignments.
