Logging In: Your Teacher’s Got You 🚪

Before you start, your teacher will tell you which login method to use. Options might include:

  • Clever

  • ClassLink

  • Microsoft

  • Google

  • Schoology

  • Canvas

Once your teacher gives the green light, you’re ready to jump in!


Make Magma Math Yours 🌟

Personalize your account so it feels just right for you:

  • Pick Your Language: Learn in the language that feels easiest for you.

  • Adjust Text Size: Big letters? Small letters? You decide.

  • Turn On Text-to-Speech: Let the problems read themselves aloud if you want.

  • Choose How to Submit Answers: Type them out or write on the screen with a stylus or finger — your choice!


Getting Started with Assignments & Quizzes 📝

When you open an assignment or quiz, you’ll see your canvas — your space to solve problems. Here’s how to make it your own:

  • Drag the Problem: Move it onto your canvas using your mouse, trackpad, or finger.

  • Show Your Work: Solve the problem directly on the canvas. Write, erase, try again — just like a real notebook, but digital magic included!


Tools to Help You Shine 🛠️

Look to the top right of your canvas for manipulatives — they’re like your math toolbox:

  • Pencil

  • Eraser

  • Highlighter

  • Figures & Shapes

  • …and more to explore!

Tip: Don’t be afraid to play around! The more you try, the easier math becomes.
