Yesterday we took a look at the benefits of the Topic Bank, and today we are going to look at similar feature, albeit one with it’s own unique benefits – Replay Mode. All of us here at Math-Whizz have our own favorite lessons and we know many of the students using our program do as well, which is precisely where Replay Mode comes into play. In order to access Replay Mode you will first need to enter the Console. Once there, at the bottom of the screen select “Replay.” You’ll then enter a screen that looks like the one below.
From this screen you can then select which lesson you would like to replay, view the medals you’ve earned as well as your best times and scores. Challenge yourself to beat your best time and score and you’ll be awarded new medals (go for the gold!) as well as ten credits. Hover over a lesson to see your past times – lessons most recently completed will load first, scroll to the left to access those previously assigned.
So, in a nutshell: students can replay lessons they’ve completed in the Tutor Mode, and improved scores and times are rewarded with credits and medals. The lessons completed in Replay will not affect their Math Age™ or lesson as delivered through the Tutor. If you are looking to target a specific topic for extra practice, be sure to read all about our Topic Bank.
