We've added a new Key Vocabulary section to the Launch tab to help you build understanding before pupils begin an assignment. This feature is designed to support teaching at the start of a lesson, giving you a straightforward way to introduce key terms, spark discussion, and ensure pupils have a shared understanding before they start working.
Why teachers use it
Introduce important concepts before independent work
Build shared understanding of key maths vocabulary
Encourage classroom discussion and pupil participation
Strengthen readiness for the assignment ahead
What you'll see
For each assignment, Magma automatically generates:
4 vocabulary flip cards
Each card includes:
A key term
A clear, pupil-friendly definition
Examples to help bring the concept to life
You'll also see prompts from Lava encouraging pupils to share their own examples, helping you draw out thinking and start meaningful discussion as a class.
