Math Student Navigation and Resources

Students use navigation tools and resources as they move through the course using the menu bar on the left. As you move through the session, select each resource to experience its function.

When students launch a math course for the first time a ClickTo Begin button appears. It also appear once per session when the student receives a new reward animation.

Most resources are available when the student’s assignment uses the default course/assignment settings. If a resource is deactivated, the resource button is unavailable.

The following student resources are available in the left menu bar.

Button

Purpose

Reference: Provides access to information for;

  • Formulas: Information for working with shapes: Circle, Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Parallelogram, Pyramid, Rectangle, Rectangular Prism, Regular Polygon, and Rhombus.

  • Measurements: Information for Area, Capacity (Liquid Volume), Length, Temperature, Time, Volume, Weight/Mass, and Metric Prefixes.

  • Symbols: Reference tables for Equality and Inequality, Arithmetic, Geometry, Roots and Powers, and Probability and Percents symbols.

Glossary: Provides definitions and usage examples for glossary terms found in the math course. Students can select Spanish or English from a menu in the Glossary window to view the word and definition in the respective language, and select the speaker icon to hear the word and the definition in the same language.

Progress: Displays a progress report with the student’s score, the skills mastered in the current session, and includes an explanation for the score based on the score percentage. You can activate, deactivate, or limit the option using the course/assignment settings. If the option is deactivated or the student has reached the set limit, the report button is unavailable.

In the report, the selected character moves across numbered tiles as the student makes gains in the course. The background of the report changes when the student progresses from step 5 to step 6, and then again when the student reaches step 11.

Show Answer: Enables students to ask for help when struggling with a question and provides both visual and audio support.

  • When Show Answer is used, the question is counted as incorrect to ensure an accurate accounting of the student’s abilities and to prevent the student from intentionally skewing the score.

  • The student can select Show Answer once per LO or once per page of a multiple-page LO. In either case, the LO is scored as incorrect.

  • If the LO repeats, Show Answer can be used up to three times in the current session.

The Settings button opens a window that allows configuration for playing animations, video and audio autoplay, subtitles, and video toolbar autohide.

Close: Allows students to exit the course. After selecting Close, a confirmation prompt appears. The student selects Yes to confirm, the session data is saved, and the student is returned to the Assignments page.

If the student has opened the Calculator tool, and then selects Close, the end session confirmation box may appear behind the Calculator tool. Select or tap to close the Calculator, and then select Yes or No in the end session confirmation box.

Select the X in the title bar of the browser window to close out of SuccessMaker could result in the loss of data.
