How to view average activity for a specific time period

Click Stats

Choose your class

Click Effort tab

Using the selector at the top of the Effort page, choose your preferred time period.

For example, if you choose 7 days then the results will show you how long each student played each day on average over the last 7 days. If the result for a single student is 2 minutes 9 seconds, that equates to ~15 minutes in total over 7 days. Bear in mind that the 15 minutes could have been played at any time over the last 7 days and could have been played as a block or in small doses.

Click the calendar icon beside a student's name as shown below:

This will bring up a Game Log showing every game played by that student:

Important: Is the "Time Played" column blank? Don't worry, the time your student spent playing is still recorded and counts towards their total and average minutes played. On occasion, our system takes some time to update after a game has been played, or it may not be able to calculate the exact number of seconds. In this case a "-" will be shown instead of the number of seconds.

You can use the filter button (top right) to filter by game type and by date range:

Top tip: If you want to reward the students making the most effort, you can use the Stats bolt-on to create a Custom Leaderboard for your class, focused on the number of correct answers students have given or the number of minutes they have played over your chosen time period. Every leaderboard generates certificates, a cool wall display and even an assembly presentation which you can use to reward your hardest-working pupils!

Using the Sessions bolt-on

Flipping the question around, you can ask yourself, "How much do I want them to play?" How many minutes would you like your students to spend practising each day or each week? (If it was up to us, we'd say three minutes per day.)

The Sessions feature allows you to set a number of minutes for them to play between over a period of time and then check their completion and performance. In just a few clicks you'll be able to set homework for the rest of term and ensure your students are practising the tables regularly.

Sessions make it much clearer to the pupils as to how to meet your expectations (because they get a little notification bubble over the game they have to play) and for you to monitor to what extent they've met them.
