Points and prizes

Learning that pays off

Every step a student finishes earns points: a Quick Check, a lesson, a practice set, a Show What You Know test. Points fill the prize bar, unlock free and discounted workbooks, and move the climber up the stairs. Below is an example student, so you can see how it works.

How points work

Every topic has 4 steps and is worth 5 points in all.
Most a student can earn: 5 points a day, which is one whole topic.
Each step pays once. Practice and Show What You Know need 80% or higher.
The climb counts every point ever earned and never goes down.
Claim a prize when the bar reaches it, or keep saving. Claiming uses those prize points. One claim a month per student.

Questions parents ask

Who earns the points?

Each student earns their own. Points come from finishing steps in the lesson library: the Quick Check, the lesson, the practice set and the Show What You Know test.

How fast does a student reach a prize?

A student who finishes one topic every school day earns about 27 points a week, streak bonus included. That reaches the first prize in about 2 weeks, a free workbook in under 2 months and a free grade bundle in about 5 months. Weekends count too.

Is there a daily limit?

Yes: 5 points a day, which is one whole topic. From April 15 to May 15 every step is worth double and the limit is 10.

When can a prize be claimed?

As soon as the prize bar reaches it. A student can claim it or keep saving for a bigger one, with one claim a month per student. Claims open when subscriptions open.

Does claiming a prize undo progress?

No. A claim uses prize points, but the climb counts every point ever earned and never goes down. Points past 600 carry over.

What if I have more than one student?

Each student has their own points. Turn on Let my students compete and a weekly race compares each student with their own weekly goal, so a younger student can win against an older one.

What are parent points?

Parent points come with your plan: 250 a year on the annual plan, 25 and then 20 a month on the monthly plan, and 200 for each family you refer. You give them to your students any way you like.

How do certificates work?

When a student finishes every topic in a subject for one grade, a certificate with the topic list and the date is emailed and ready to print.
