Overview
Puzzle Goal Progress is based on a fixed number of puzzles associated with a year's worth of progress. Since ST Math allows teachers to assign content to students from any grade level they need, any new content a student plays advances their progress. It does not represent a completed curriculum for a specific grade level’s Journey. Instead, it shows how much work a student has completed during this school year regardless of grade.
Through this metric, students with intervention work aren't penalized, and students promoted to a higher grade level in a previous year don't have a head start. It's a good way to compare how much work a student has completed in your class, this year.
Calculating Puzzle Goal Progress
|
Puzzle Goal Progress is calculated by the total puzzles a student has collected divided by the fixed number of puzzles based on the student’s grade. If you click on a class, Puzzle Goal Progress will show the percent, and also a fraction with the correct denominator for the student. Below is an example of the fixed numbers by grade. Actual numbers will vary by state.
If a student in 6th grade has completed 823 puzzles this year, their Puzzle Goal Progress would be 37%, or 823 divided by 2200. Puzzle Goal Progress only counts puzzles played in the current school year. |
What advances Puzzle Goal Progress?
All new puzzles completed contribute to a student's progress. This includes:
- ST Math assigned grade-level Journey Objectives & Assignments
- Assignments from other grade levels
- Bonus Journey
- Challenge Objectives
- Optional Objectives
What happens once students reach 100% Puzzle Goal Progress?
Because the fixed number of puzzles can be less than the number of puzzles a student completes in their Journey, it is possible for students to have a percentage over 100%. If a 2nd-grade student completes all 2,309 puzzles in their Journey, the student would show 128% progress.
