- Sign up (MathViz currently has lessons for students in grades 4 through 10)
- Complete initial placement problems (so MathViz knows your strengths and weaknesses)
- Choose a pathway (ex. Numbers & Operations) from the provided list and select the lesson that is available (which is determined based on your performance on the placement problems)
- Watch the short lesson video (most lesson videos are 2 minutes 30 seconds or less)
- Complete guided practice problems:
If your answer is
Correct
- Continue correctly answering several problems in a row to demonstrate mastery and complete the lesson (most lessons usually require between 5 and 10 problems to be answered correctly in a row before marking the lesson as complete)
- Assuming all other prerequisites are satisfied, the next lesson in the pathway is unlocked
Incorrect
- Pay close attention to the written and spoken feedback about why your answer is incorrect and how to fix it
- Rewatch the part of the lesson video that demonstrates the proper technique (the video will be automatically set to play the most helpful part, based on the specific mistake that was made)
- Try again!
General Info
Users can practice an endless number of guided problems from completed lessons (and because MathViz generates problems randomly, they are not being given the exact same problems over and over!).
Once at least one lesson has been completed, users can opt to hone their skills, which helps them turn any weak spots into strengths by practicing their weakest lessons.
NOTE: MathViz requires users to create an account so that it can learn each student’s strengths and weaknesses, in an effort to provide them with the best math learning experience possible.
