If you see a padlock icon on activities in Magrid, please check your subscription status in the Settings section within the Teacher Area. Make sure you are signed in with the school email account linked to the active Magrid subscription and confirm that it has not expired. Subscription purchase options are also available directly within the app.
Once a class and at least one student have been created, the Teacher Area menu becomes available. This section allows teachers to manage classes, students, and app settings. Teachers can view and manage subscription options, adjust settings, select the app language, and refresh app data. They can add new classes or students, edit existing classes or student profiles, and search for students within a selected class. The Teacher Area also provides access to teacher practice mode, the student area, and detailed reports on student progress. Existing classes are listed on the side, with the selected class highlighted for clarity.
A) Edit a class (rename or delete)
B) Edit or delete a student
C) Move a student to a different class
D) Update student profile details
Tap Save to apply changes, or Back to exit without saving.

The Settings menu, accessible only through the Teacher Area, allows teachers to manage account, subscription, and classroom controls. From this menu, teachers can view subscription and upgrade options (which vary by region and school size), edit their email address, log out, or permanently delete their teacher account (which erases all student data). Teachers can also contact Magrid directly via email or WhatsApp from this screen.
Classroom management tools within Settings include the daily timer, which can be turned on or off and set between 10 and 60 minutes in 5-minute intervals to control student screen time. Language settings allow the app to be used in several different languages; teachers can select the preferred language for the account, and students can see and hear numbers in their chosen language, including appropriate number symbols. A check mark confirms the selected language.
Additional instructional controls include the option to hide task names to make the app fully text-free for students, enable “Training only” mode (disabling assessments), or enable “Assessments only” mode (restricting access to training planets). These features allow teachers to structure classroom use according to instructional goals or assessment conditions.
Training only: When enabled, students can complete training activities but cannot access assessments, allowing teachers to control when assessments are conducted.
Assessments only: When enabled, students can access assessment tasks only and cannot use training planets, supporting scheduled testing in controlled conditions.
The Student Area is the main screen students use to begin their activities after a class and student have been created. From this menu, students can select their name or avatar and tap “Start” to begin working in Planet View. Teachers can search for students within the selected class, switch between classes (with the selected class highlighted), refresh app data, and change language settings. Access to the Teacher Area is restricted by a multiplication problem to prevent students from making accidental changes. The Student Area clearly highlights the selected student and provides a simple, structured starting point for daily use of the program.
The Planet View is the main learning pathway students enter after selecting “Start” from the Student Area. Activities are organized into planets containing 12–18 task options, allowing students to progress in manageable steps based on readiness and interest. The tasks balance numerical and visual-spatial (cognitive) skills, with difficulty increasing gradually as students move through the program. Grey planets marked with a question mark represent assessment activities, and students can switch to Advanced View using the option at the bottom of the screen. The Planet View provides an engaging and structured progression system that supports skill development while maintaining motivation.
The Advanced View provides a detailed breakdown of Magrid activities and is primarily intended for teachers or parents who want to target specific skill development. After selecting the Advanced tab, activities are organised into two main categories—Numerical and Cognitive (Visual-Spatial skills)—and further divided into sub-competencies for focused instruction and progress tracking. Lessons follow the same progression sequence as Planet View, increasing gradually in difficulty. This structure allows educators to identify strengths and areas for improvement more precisely, and all activities are further detailed in the Magrid Skills Guide.
Numerical Sub-Competencies:
Cognitive Sub-Competencies:
When students select an activity from either Planet View or Advanced View, each task follows a consistent, language-free structure designed to be intuitive and accessible. The first two questions act as guided tutorials using visual cues such as hand icons and zooming templates to demonstrate how to complete the task. Students then independently complete 5–10 similar problems. A help button is available during training activities, and the app provides prompts after delays or repeated mistakes. If a student makes three errors on the same problem, step-by-step guidance is given to support understanding.
Student progress is communicated through clear visual indicators. A line beneath each activity icon shows whether a task is not started, in progress, or completed, while a coloured progress bar at the bottom of the screen tracks advancement within an activity. After completing tasks, students receive encouraging visual feedback, and successful completion earns gold stars—one star for partial planet progress and two stars when all activities on a planet are completed. When a planet is fully completed, its connecting path turns solid purple. Detailed performance data and error tracking are recorded for teachers, though only positive reinforcement is visible to students.
Magrid assessments are short tests embedded throughout the learning journey to track student performance, establish baselines, monitor progress, and measure mastery. They can be accessed from both Planet View and Advanced View, where they are clearly marked with question mark icons—appearing as grey moons in Planet View and blue question marks in Advanced View at key points (beginning, middle, and end). Students must complete all tasks within each assessment to continue; otherwise, they are required to finish previous assessments and at least half of the training tasks before progressing. The platform can also be configured for assessment-only or training-only modes, which is useful for pilots or research. Initially, students receive one assessment per sub-competency, but additional, more advanced assessments may unlock based on performance, reflecting progression similar to advancing a grade level. Overall, the system provides structured and reliable data while seamlessly integrating assessments into the learning experience.
The Magrid Class View report screen provides a clear overview of student performance, progress, and engagement, accessible from the Teacher Area via the Report button. By default, it displays all data for a selected class (which can be changed using a dropdown), with each row representing a student and showing their assessment progress and average results. Teachers can refine the data by filtering through competencies (Numerical or Cognitive) and more specific sub-competencies. On the right side of each student’s row, key engagement metrics are displayed, including last active date, total active days, time spent on tasks, and lessons completed (including repeated or incomplete ones). Data can be refreshed if needed, and overall, the Class View offers a high-level snapshot that makes it easy to monitor class performance at a glance.
The Magrid Individual Student Report offers two complementary views: a training view focused on app usage and engagement, and an assessment view focused on performance. In the training view, teachers can switch between students or classes and see an overview of daily activity, including lessons completed and time spent in Magrid. It also displays an assessment bar for quick progress insight, along with summary indicators such as assessments completed and unique lessons (highlighting repeated practice). Filters for competency and sub-competency allow deeper analysis of specific skill areas, making this view ideal for understanding participation, consistency, and learning habits.
The assessment view shifts focus to measurable outcomes. It presents colour-coded performance averages for each assessment (Red = 0–39%, Orange = 40–79%, Green = 80–100%), with more detailed breakdowns available at the sub-competency level, including timestamps and individual question results (correct, incorrect, or unattempted). Cognitive assessments show question-level performance, while numerical assessments may include multiple levels that require at least 80% to progress. To minimise stress, tasks end early after two consecutive incorrect answers. Together, these two views provide a complete picture of both how a student engages with the platform and how well they are developing their skills.
