Student View in Practice Mode

Practice Mode gives students a personalized space to build confidence, strengthen skills, and practice at their own pace.

Written by Stephanie

Access Practice Mode

Students can open Practice Mode from the Practice tab on their dashboard.

Next Up: Personalized Practice

When students select Start, Magma automatically recommends skills based on recent assignment performance.

This helps students focus on:

  • skills they may need additional support with

  • recently missed concepts

  • targeted review areas

Students do not need to search for skills manually — Magma recommends where to begin.

Building Skills Step by Step

If a student struggles with a skill in Practice Mode, Magma may automatically recommend an easier, related skill to help strengthen their understanding.

These recommendations focus on prerequisite skills that build toward the original concept. This means students may occasionally see skills from an earlier grade level.

Once students successfully complete the recommended prerequisite skill, Magma guides them back toward the skill they were originally practicing.

If additional support is needed, Magma may recommend another foundational skill to help students build confidence and understanding.

Track Progress with the Progress Chart

At the top of the Practice tab, students will see a progress chart showing growth across domains and standards. The chart reflects work completed in:

  • assignments

  • Practice Mode

This means students may already show progress in a standard even before practicing it directly if they demonstrated understanding during assignments.

Browse by Domain and Standard

Students can also browse practice content by:

  • domain

  • standard

  • topic area

Teacher Recommendations

If a teacher recommends specific skills, those recommendations appear at the top of the Practice tab.

Students can:

  1. Open the recommended skill.

  2. Watch the instructional example video.

  3. Complete the practice set.

  4. Earn stars based on performance.

What Students See During Practice

Each practice skill includes:

  • a short instructional video

  • interactive problem-solving

  • drawing tools and manipulatives

  • immediate feedback

As students work through Practice Mode, Magma adjusts its skill recommendations based on their progress, providing additional foundational practice when needed.

Students can retry practice sets as many times as needed.

Earning Stars

After completing a practice set, students earn 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.
