Level up Frax engagement and promote friendly classroom competition
Do your students love completing Frax missions? Are they fueled by healthy competition? Try our latest feature, Frax Competitions!
What are Frax Competitions?
New Frax Competitions allow teachers to host competitions among different classrooms in the same school building. Now, students in one classroom can face off against other classes in a school for amped-up fractions engagement, fun rivalry, and increased motivation!
How do I set up a competition in Frax?
Teachers can set custom durations for each Frax Competition period. Once a competition is active, students do not need to take any additional action when using Frax. Their individual Frax data will contribute to overall Team performance. The class with the greatest average number of completed Frax missions wins!
You can access Frax Competitions from two different locations: Account Home or the Frax Reporting Dashboard.
- ExploreLearning Account Home: From the left side of your Account Home, you’ll find a new icon for Frax Competitions just below your product panel. Click on the Frax Competitions icon to access Competitions.
- Frax Reporting Dashboard: You’ll see a new banner across the top of your screen. If you’re new to Frax Competitions, click on the “Launch Competitions” button to get started.
From the Frax Competitions homepage, click "Create Competition." Set your competition name and invite fellow teachers at your school to participate. If you teach multiple classes yourself, your students can compete against one another without inviting another teacher!
Set the duration of your competition. Select a “Team” (Frax class group) to participate in the competition, and don’t forget to give your team a name. You can even customize your team with an icon and team color. Once a competition is active, students do not need to take any additional action when using Frax. Their individual Frax data will contribute to overall Team performance.
How do I track student progress during a competition?
Navigate to the Frax Competitions homepage, and then select a competition to view the Leaderboard. If you have previously worked with Frax Competitions, you’ll find that you can access your most recent competitions from the banner at the top of your Frax Reporting Dashboard, by selecting the card of a specific competition.
How are winners determined?
The class with the greatest average number of completed Frax missions during the competition duration wins!
