It\u2019s important to Mr Jones that he gives math rewards for students\u2019 efforts just as much as their achievements.\u00a0He wants to use\u00a0classroom rewards and incentives<\/a>\u00a0for students who are demonstrating sustained effort over the term, and encourage those who aren\u2019t regularly practicing their math to engage with Mathletics more.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones wants to be able to see how long each of his grade 3 students have spent online each week, and how many points they\u2019ve earned in that time. He would also like to know how many points have been earned from assigned and voluntarily completed curriculum activities.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones\u2019 students are expected to complete 3 assigned Mathletics activities each week, which takes approximately 20 minutes. They\u2019re encouraged to spend more time completing activities voluntarily and playing Live Mathletics to refresh their math fluency skills.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones knows that the Effort and Participation report in the Teacher Console can give him all the information he needs. Here he is able to see a clear snapshot of his students\u2019 points, certificates and their time online.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Effort and Participation report gives a summary of the group\u2019s total certificates and points. They have earned 22 310 points this year! Beneath this summary is a table which shows a breakdown of individual student points, certificates and time online.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones can see that the first student listed, Catharine Beecher, has been working especially hard this school year \u2013 so far, she has spent 19 hours online and earned over 10 000 points!<\/p>\n

Mr Jones is able to see how many certificates each of the other students were awarded. He then prints these certificates to handout at assembly each week to reward his students, encouraging them to achieve 1 000 points each week.<\/p>\n
