Getting to Practice Mode
Pupils can access Practice Mode from their dashboard by clicking Practice.
They’ll see two main sections:
Recommended – skills their teacher has suggested
All Skills – the full list of practice skills available for their grade
How Pupils Practice
Each skill card focuses on one specific concept, such as Multiply two-digit numbers or Add fractions with unlike denominators. When a pupil opens a skill card, they’ll see:
An Example Video
A short instructional video shows a similar problem and explains a strategy step-by-step.
A Familiar Workspace
Pupils use the same canvas and manipulatives they already know from assignments and quizzes, so practising feels familiar and low-stress.
Unlimited Tries
Pupils can retry skills as many times as they’d like to improve their understanding or earn a higher score.
Understanding Star Ratings
When pupils finish a practice set, they receive a star rating based on accuracy:
⭐ 1 star: 50–69% correct
⭐⭐ 2 stars: 70–89% correct
⭐⭐⭐ 3 stars: 90–100% correct
Pupils can move on to the next skill once they earn at least 1 star. They can always return to a skill to try for more stars or strengthen their understanding.
Teacher Recommendations
If a teacher recommends a specific skill, pupils will see it at the top of their Practice tab. Pupils can:

Recommendations help pupils review skills they need more support with or prepare for upcoming assignments.
