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 to Use and Customize Example Problems
Open an assignment.
Navigate to the Launch tab.
Select Example problems.
Review the automatically generated problems.
To replace an example, click the trash icon in the upper-right corner of its card.
The removed problem will leave an empty slot displaying its original difficulty level.
Click the regenerate icon to create a new example at the same difficulty level.
Regenerated problems use different numbers or scenarios while maintaining the original difficulty level.
Teachers can also select Model in Scrap Paper to demonstrate a problem-solving strategy or work through an example with their class.
Additional Information
Example problems are initially generated automatically based on the assignment.
Teachers can remove and regenerate individual examples.
Regenerated problems maintain the same difficulty level: Mild, Medium, or Spicy.
At least one example problem must remain.
The original AI-generated problem cannot be restored after it has been removed.
These examples are intended for teacher-led instruction and are separate from student-facing examples in Spicy Mode.
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.
