Compass Learning at Home
Your child has folders assigned by a
teacher or by his/her MAP results.
In each folder, typically your child will
choose a learning activity or a
tutorial.
Learning Activities
You will need sound for all learning
activities.
Before activities load, your child may
answer multiple choice questions or
play a short game.
Once the activity loads, your child will
listen to the characters explain math
concepts and procedures. Your child
will see problems and concepts
modeled. Sometimes, your child will
interact with the characters by
clicking and dragging or by typing
numbers. Children will advance to
the next scene by clicking the blinking
forward arrow.
Tutorials
You will need sound for all learning
tutorials.
Your child should begin by listening to
the text on the left side of the screen,
then the directions in red text at the
bottom of the screen. Your child
should interact with the pictures on
the screen. During each scene, your
child should take notes about and/or
discuss any math concepts.
Your child can advance or go back to
any scenes by clicking the forward
and backward arrows. The scenes are
labeled with number blocks on the
lower right side of the screen. When
your child clicks exit, he/she
completes the tutorial.

Compass Learning Odyssey

during Compass Learning Odyssey sessions.
