How Example Problems Work
When a teacher opens the Launch Tab for an assignment, Magma automatically generates 3 example problems based on the assignment content and difficulty level.
Examples always reflect the structure and rigor of the assignment students are about to complete.
For example:
assignments with mild, medium, and spicy problems will display one example of each level
assignments with only mild problems will display three mild examples
How Teachers Use It
Open an assignment.
Navigate to the Launch Tab.
Review the generated example problems.
Model one or more examples with students before independent work begins.
Teachers can also use the Scrap Paper tool within the Launch Tab to demonstrate strategies and thinking on a blank canvas.
Why Teachers Use Example Problems
Example Problems help teachers:
introduce problem-solving strategies
clarify expectations before independent work
model mathematical thinking
support classroom discussion and reasoning
Because examples are generated automatically, teachers can launch instruction quickly without additional preparation.
Important Notes
Example problems are generated automatically.
No setup or configuration is required.
Problems always align to the current assignment’s difficulty and structure.
These examples are designed for teacher-led instruction.
Student Example Problems vs. Launch Tab Example Problems
Launch Tab Example Problems are:
teacher-facing
designed for whole-class modeling
available before students begin working
This feature is separate from Example Problems in Spicy Mode, which are student-facing supports available during independent work.
