This guide is designed to help you understand how Magma Maths works and how you can support your child in their math learning experience.
🚀 Getting Started: How Your Child Logs In
To get started with Magma Maths, your child will log in using a QR code they get from their teacher. To log in, click the QR code button on Magma's log in page and scan it in the camera there.
🌟 Personalising the Learning Experience
Magma Maths allows your child to personalise their experience to make learning more comfortable and engaging. Here's what can be adjusted:
Language Preferences: Your child can choose the language they feel most comfortable with.
Text Size: Adjust the text size to make reading easier.
Text-to-Speech: This feature can be turned on so problems can be read aloud, helping those who benefit from auditory learning.
Submission Method: Your child can choose how to submit their solutions—either by typing or using a touchscreen, depending on what works best for them.
📝 Understanding Assignments and Quizzes
When your child logs into Magma Maths, they will see assignments or quizzes that help them practise and improve their maths skills. These are presented on a canvas where they can show their work, which may include:
Solving Problems: Your child can use the tools provided (like a pencil, eraser, and figures) to illustrate their work and solve problems.
Manipulatives: These virtual tools (such as a pencil and geometric figures) are available on the screen to help your child visualise maths concepts.
🔥 Tracking Progress and Understanding Results
Magma Maths gives teachers and parents valuable insights into your child's progress through features like the Heatmap. Here's how it works:
Green: Your child got the problem right on the first try.
Yellow: They got it right after a couple of attempts.
Red: The answer was incorrect.
This feedback helps identify areas where your child might need extra support and shows how they are progressing over time.
🏫 How You Can Support Your Child's Success
Encourage Regular Practice: Encourage your child to work on their assignments regularly to build their maths skills.
Be Available for Questions: If your child is having difficulty with an assignment, ask them to explain what they’re working on. If needed, they can ask their teacher for further clarification.
Celebrate Achievements: Magma Maths rewards progress with stars and feedback. Celebrate when your child earns a high score, and motivate them if they need to try again.
With Magma Maths, your child is on their way to mastering maths in an engaging way. Your support plays a key role in their success, so stay involved and help them navigate the learning process!
