During play questions are randomly selected from within each Standard (providing a balanced mix of content from all Domain Standards for each grade). Every game is different, but will always include a suitable mix of content comparable from game to game (and player to player). At the end of each level, revision is encouraged and players can practice any “Cluster” or questions and then re-take each challenge (each grade contains 5 levels from EASY through to SUPER NERD / MASTERY). The first level is available for free, and all levels can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase. *** SKILL BUILDER *** In the full version of Math Champ Challenge, players are able to practice and build skills in a non-game version of Math Champ. Players can select specific subject areas (aligned with each Common Core Domain) and work through questions at their own pace . The skill builder allows players to answer both open ended and multiple choice (self-marking) questions while also gathering XP points. The skill builder provides a PLE (Personal Learning Environment) to help players build confidence as they strengthen their understandings of mathematical subjects. The adaptive engine will move advanced children towards mastery, while those who might be struggling with particular areas will be served less challenging questions. This brilliant feature means that all players can work at their own pace (also allowing parents or teachers to provide instructional support where required). *** GAME CENTER *** In Math Champ Challenge, players can compete locally (on the same device) or by using Game Center to compete with players all over the world. Math Champ Challenge is the only math game of it’s kind - each player's performance is recorded across all Common Core Standards, allowing players to earn achievements and badges for each Domain "Cluster" meaning that it can used as valuable assessment tool in the classroom, or at home as a fun way to practice for exams. Game Center badges are directly aligned with CCSSI Domains and are awarded at the end of each grade (when all levels have been completed). Badges are awarded when a player has demonstrated better than 90% accuracy across all difficulty levels, and various other achievements can be earned during play. Badges, Achievements and other Game Center rewards, means that Math Champ Challenge will engage all types of children! *** LEARNING SUPPORT *** Math Champ Challenge provides valuable feedback for math teachers and parents and and is designed to engage and encourage children as they have fun while learning everything from fractions to geometry and arithmetic.
