Training Zone and Student Practice
What is the Training Zone?
The Training Zone lets students independently practise and explore Matific activities at their own pace.
Students can use Skill Builder to choose a skill or topic to practise, or Collections to discover activities recommended for them or selected for different purposes.
Do I need to set up Collections for my students?
No. Collections are automatically populated by Matific based on each Collection's purpose. No additional teacher setup is required.
Can students choose what they practise?
Yes. Students can independently explore activities through the Training Zone. You can also guide their learning by assigning activities or setting Focus Topics.
What are Focus Topics?
Focus Topics guide students towards key concepts without requiring you to assign specific activities. Matific uses the selected topics to guide learning across areas such as Adventure Island, Arena, and Training Zone.
Student Login
How can my students log in?
Students can log in using their username and password, QR code, or Quick Login, depending on how your school uses Matific.
With Quick Login, you can share a class code or QR code so students can quickly select their profile and access Matific.
What is Quick Login?
Quick Login gives students a quick way to enter Matific without typing individual usernames and passwords. Start Quick Login from Live Classroom, then share the code or QR code with your students.
Reports and Progress
How can I check whether my students completed an activity?
Go to Activities → Manage Activities and select the relevant class, group, or students. You can view assigned activities by start or due date and see how many students have completed each activity.
How can I see how a student is progressing?
Use the available reports in Reports to view student activity, mastery, assigned work, and other progress information.
Can I see what activities a student has completed?
Yes. Reports such as the Student Activity Report provide information about student activity and completion.
What is the difference between the different reports?
Each report provides a different view of student learning and activity. For example:
Student Activity Report – activity and completion information.
Student Mastery Report – student progress towards mastery.
Assigned Work Report – progress on assigned activities.
Class Readiness Prediction Report – insights that can help identify students who may need additional support.
Classroom Features
What is StarMaster?
StarMaster is a student leaderboard that ranks students based on the stars they earn from completed activities. Teachers can disable the leaderboard or anonymize student names through class settings.
Can I hide students' names on the StarMaster leaderboard?
Yes. Turn on Anonymise Student Names in your class's advanced settings. This hides student names on the leaderboard without affecting their progress or reporting.
What is Arena?
Arena lets students take part in a live, competitive Matific game. Teachers can select an activity, start a game, and invite students to join using a unique activity code or link.
What is the difference between Arena and Multiplayer?
Arena is a teacher-hosted live game where students play the same activity together.
Multiplayer lets students independently challenge classmates, other learners, or bots without teacher facilitation.
