Practice Mode is a self-paced learning space where pupils can strengthen their understanding of key maths skills. It’s designed to support remediation, reinforcement, and enrichment, using the same interactive tools students are familiar with from assignments and quizzes.
Why Pupils Use Practice Mode
Pupils can practice skills as many times as they need, at their own pace.
Teachers can recommend skills based on assignment results, so pupils get targeted support right when they need it.
Most practice skills includes a short, instructional video that models how to solve a similar problem using clear, accessible strategies.
Pupils work on the same canvas and with the same manipulatives they use in assignments - making the practice experience comfortable and consistent.
How Practice Mode Works
Skill-Based Practice
Each Practice Mode card focuses on a specific skill (for example, Add fractions with unlike denominators or Multiply two-digit numbers). Pupils see a mixture of problem types, and they can retry the skill as many times as they’d like.
Earn Stars 🌟
After completing a set of problems, pupils receive a star rating:
1 star: 50–69% correct
2 stars: 70–89% correct
3 stars: 90–100% correct
Pupils can move to the next skill once they earn at least 1 star.
How Teachers Use Practice Mode
1. Recommend Practice
Teachers can recommend specific practice skills to:
individual pupils
groups
the whole class
Recommendations appear at the top of the pupil’s Practice tab.
2. See Pupil Progress
Teachers can track:
whether pupils attempted recommended skills
how many stars they earned
which skills pupils are improving on over time
Pupils’ practice attempts also help teachers identify patterns of misunderstanding and decide what to reteach or reinforce.
Where Pupils Find Practice Mode
Pupils can access Practice Mode anytime from the Practice tab on their dashboard. They can explore recommended skills or browse all available skills for their grade level.
