- How did it work? Schools & individual competition Classes 5th, 6th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Used MASTERY rather than energy points to assess Weekly problem challenges & focus exercises assigned through recommendations Posted weekly leaderboards for 12 weeks Qualification for provincial and National final (familiarize self with criteria) In-person finals
- How did it work? Schools & individual competition Classes 5th, 6th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Used MASTERY rather than energy points to assess Weekly problem challenges & focus exercises assigned through recommendations Posted weekly leaderboards for 12 weeks Qualification for provincial and National final (familiarize self with criteria) In-person finals Set structure…what happened? Once people started hearing about it, it took off. By the end of February, students had accumulated ¼ of a million minutes, but end of March, ½ million minutes Calls from parents if leaderboards were an hour late Awarded monthly cups to schools with national TV fimling and local TDs presenting awards to schools Over half (55%) of minutes spent out of class time. 900 hours over the easter holiday – 1 in 4 mathletes logged into KA on their easter break.
- The finals: partner institutions across Ireland. Entirely volunteer run. 3 events: speed test on Khan Academy, problem set exam, and real-world team test Partnered with the Think Academy, a startup focused on real life application of maths Made friends. Got trophies. 500 invited to the provincial, 150 at the national (30 per class for each of 5 classes)
- Personal Progress is tracked Each practice skill focuses on one concept. Teachers can recommend skills.
- Shows who’s struggling and which skills they’re struggling with Use it to… Assess your class’s overall progress on a mission Identify students who are struggling or excelling Recommend skills to individual students
- Shows where students are spending their time Use it to… Ensure that students are using their Khan Academy time productively See which students are working on Khan Academy right now
