Craig's experience
"Time for students to develop fluency and understanding in lessons is limited, so it is really important students have both the opportunity and support required to get the most out of practice they do outside of the classroom. We have already seen how teachers can set specific tasks for students to complete on Eedi, but we also have built a system that allows students to engage in effective independent practice tailored to their individual needs."
How Eedi helps
Every time students log on to Eedi, they are presented with two choices of topics:
1. Comfort topic
Eedi will use its knowledge of a student’s current understanding of mathematics, and choose a topic to help that understanding develop further.
2. Growth topic
Eedi will choose a topic right on the boundary of a student’s current capability to help them move to the next level.
Each topic consists of the usual diagnostic quiz to pinpoint specific areas of development, plus on-demand lesson intervention to help resolve any misunderstandings. So, instead of setting your students a specific task to complete, you could say “do 30 minutes on Eedi tonight” and you can be sure the practice will be tailored to their needs.
In addition, students can choose to practice any topic they want - either to build up their proficiency and confidence in an area they have struggled with, or to push themselves even further via our stretch and challenge materials.
Putting it into action
Students will automatically have access to independent study within their Eedi accounts. If they haven't been added to Eedi yet click here for help on getting them set up.
Ask your students to complete their Starter/Level Booster quiz. This is a 10-question dynamic quiz which we use to identify strengths and weaknesses. The results of this quiz help us to ensure that we recommend the best topics to support their learning.
Student can find this by scrolling to the bottom of their Learn page:
If this doesn't appear for students it means they've already completed it 👍
Students will now be recommended their own comfort and growth topics to work on which they'll find at the top of their Learn page.
Please note: If your students have an active classroom assignment set they will need to scroll down on their Learn page to find their Independent study section instead:
