Each Mathletics activity consists of 10 questions targeting a single concept from within a topic. The questions are selected from a bank of thousands of questions, meaning your students will never be presented with the same 10 questions twice! Many of the activities are also adaptive, increasing in difficulty as the students answer more questions correctly, while getting easier when the students are struggling.
