Personalizing the Learning Experience 🌟

Magma Math lets your child adjust settings for a more comfortable, engaging experience:

Language Preferences: Choose a preferred language.
Text Size: Make text larger or smaller for easier reading.
Text-to-Speech: Enable this so problems can be read aloud.
Submission Method: Type answers or use a touchscreen.

Understanding Assignments and Quizzes 📝

When your child logs in, they’ll see assignments and quizzes designed to build math skills. On the interactive canvas, they can:

Solve problems and show their work using virtual tools (pencil, eraser, shapes).
Use manipulatives to visualize concepts.

Tracking Progress and Understanding Results 🔥

Magma Math’s Heatmap shows how your child is doing:

Green: Your child got the problem right on the first try.
Yellow: They got it right after a couple of attempts.

This feedback helps identify areas where your child might need extra support and shows how they are progressing over time.
