Select Previously Uploaded Formula Sheet ⬇️
Teachers can now reuse previously uploaded formula sheets when creating assignments, making it easier to attach and manage supporting resources across multiple activities.
Teacher Created Open-Ended problems (AI graded) 🤖
Teachers can now create open-ended problems in CYOP that are AI-graded, giving them more flexibility to assess student thinking beyond standard problem types and cover additional standards.
Scrap Paper 📝
Launch Tab now includes Scrap Paper, a quick-access blank canvas with manipulatives and writing tools that lets teachers easily model problems without entering Solve Mode.
Example Problems 📖
Launch Tab now includes AI-generated example problems aligned to the assignment, helping teachers model and launch lessons more clearly before students begin work.
Key Vocabulary 📚
We’ve added a new Key Vocabulary section to the Instructions tab to help teachers build understanding before students begin working. For each assignment, Lava will now automatically generate 4 vocabulary flip cards featuring key terms, clear definitions, and real-world examples to support concept introduction and discussion. Teachers can use these cards to spark conversation, encourage students to contribute their own examples, and establish shared understanding of key ideas before starting the assignment.
Student Practice and Progress📊
This update brings together guided practice, teacher recommendations, and clearer progress visibility in one streamlined flow. When students tap Start, Magma automatically surfaces the skills they’ve struggled with in regular assignments, ensuring practice is targeted and meaningful. Students can also explore domains and standards, while Magma selects the specific skills to serve within each area. Progress is now visualized through a domain-level pie chart that reflects all student work (assignments + practice), giving a complete picture of mastery. In addition, teachers can recommend specific skills that appear at the top of the student experience for more targeted support.
Mobile Phone Support for Students 📞
Students can now complete their assignments directly from their phones via the web browser, making it easier than ever to access learning anytime, anywhere. This update significantly improves the mobile experience, addressing previous limitations and ensuring smoother performance across core functionality. While mobile previously supported only select question types with a suboptimal experience, this release brings a cleaner, more reliable interface so students can confidently work through assignments on the go.
New Compact Toolbar for Older Students 🎨
This updated “Advanced” toolbar is smaller and more streamlined, freeing up additional space on the drawboard so students can focus on their work without distractions. It also sets us up to surface more of our older-years functionality in a clearer, more accessible way in the future. The Advanced toolbar is now available for grades 6 and up.
