At E-Singapore Math, we offer both admin and teacher accounts to cater to different roles within the educational ecosystem. The admin account is specifically tailored for managing teachers and students, focusing on broader administrative functions. However, it does not facilitate the detailed review of classwork or specific mistakes made by individual students.

On the other hand, teacher accounts are equipped with comprehensive features to enhance the teaching and learning experience. With a teacher account, educators can seamlessly assign lessons, homework, and practice to students. Importantly, teachers can delve into the specifics, reviewing mistakes made by individual students. This functionality provides valuable insights into student progress and allows for targeted guidance and support.

In essence, while the admin account focuses on administrative management, teacher accounts are designed to empower educators with tools for effective lesson planning, assignment management, and personalized student support.

The classroom plan in eSingapore Math requires a minimum of 15 students.

The diagnostic assessment serves as a comprehensive evaluation of your students' math proficiency. Divided into 8 concise tests, it zeroes in on key mathematical topics crucial for elementary learners. This method allows us to gauge your students' strong points and pinpoint any areas that may require additional attention. 

The beauty of it? Each test is designed to take only 15 to 30 minutes, ensuring a brief and stress-free experience for your students. We assess their knowledge in fundamental areas such as numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. It's an efficient and valuable tool to ensure your students are on the right trajectory in their mathematical journey!

Your students are expected to complete the initial diagnostic assessment within approximately 15-30 minutes. This concise and targeted assessment is designed to efficiently evaluate their current level of understanding and knowledge in order to tailor the subsequent lessons to their individual needs. The brief duration ensures a focused and effective diagnostic process, allowing the program to quickly adapt and provide a personalized learning path for each student.

Given our approach, students advance to the next lesson and unit only after achieving a passing score of 80% or higher, ensuring a solid understanding of concepts. We don't prescribe a specific timeframe for reassessment, as mastery is continuously reinforced.

However, teachers have the flexibility to decide when to reevaluate students. It's important to note that reassessing students will reset their learning progress, creating a new learning path based on the latest diagnostic results. You can compare results from up to four diagnostic tests for reference.

If you choose to re-diagnose a topic, your student will be prompted to retake the diagnostic test. Should the new results prove better than the previous ones, the program will dynamically adjust, delivering lessons tailored to the improved understanding. However, it's essential to note that opting for a re-diagnosis will reset all prior progress on that particular topic.

To reset the diagnostic assessment, login into your teacher portal, select More – Adaptive Learning Progress. Then select your student, topic and click "Re-Diagnose" under the test results.
