Wondering what students will experience after they sign in to Legends of Learning to access Math Basecamp? Here is an overview of what students can expect when completing their Math Basecamp sessions.

After signing in, students will be introduced to Tuto, their friendly guide that will support learning along the way!

New students are given three minutes to introduce themselves to Tuto by creating their personal avatar. After the three minutes have expired, students can continue creating their avatar only after completing their Math Basecamp session.

Once students have created their avatar, they will be prompted to start their Math Basecamp session.

Students will select your name from their teacher list.

Students will then see Math Basecamp listed as an available assignment. Clicking Start or Continue will begin the Math Basecamp session for the student.

When students first enter Math Basecamp, they begin with an assessment that gathers data about individual fact mastery for each student.

Second, in the Activate activity, the program assigns up to four facts the student has not yet mastered. These facts belong to one, or at most, two fact families. During the activity, students see visualizations of their facts and get reinforcement of the fact family relationship.

Third, in the Recall activity, students move their facts into short-term memory using a method called cover-copy-compare.

Fourth, in the Establish activity, students are challenged to retrieve these newly learned facts after longer and longer intervals. This allows students to move facts from short-term into long-term memory.

In the fifth and final activity, Practice, learners pick from a selection of fact mastery games that focus on acquired facts while introducing distractions. The games focus only on mastered facts and improves retrieval time.

When students have achieved a Fully Charged helicopter in Math Basecamp, their daily session is complete and they are given the opportunity to continue learning in Awakening!

When playing in Awakening after your assignment, students will encounter content related to their assigned Math Basecamp Focus Area. This is a great way to reinforce skills while giving student choice in the activities they engage in!
