We've upgraded Soundcheck based on direct feedback from teachers like you, to support deeper insights into student fluency.
Reminder - What is Soundcheck?
Soundcheck is one of the five single-player games and provides a fantastic, fast way of assessing progress over time for your students.
Students are asked 25 questions across all tables up to 12x12. They have 6 seconds to answer each question, encouraging them to be both accurate and swift with their answers. To find out more about how the questions are chosen, and the student experience of Soundcheck, click below:

NEW! Student Overview with Score Trend:
The improved student table allows you to see an overview of stats for each student:
Each student will be labelled based on their score trend within your chosen time period. The trend looks at multiple games, and analyses whether, on average, they are trending upwards, downwards or staying the same. Here is how the trend labelling works:
Focusing attention on orange or red students can help you identify where extra support may be needed in your class.
Quickly see what might be an underlying issue:
Use the average speed column to identify students with low score paired with fast speed. Encourage them slow down their pace for greater accuracy and to check answers before hitting "Enter."
