The Focus % metric in Classic MobyMax measures a student's level of engagement and concentration during their learning sessions. It helps teachers determine whether a student is staying on task or getting distracted.
- Calculated based on problem completion time.
- Reflects student engagement and attention.
- Unchanged by teacher-modified idle time settings.
How Focus % is Calculated
Formula:
Focus % = (Problems answered in under 2 minutes ÷ Total problems attempted) × 100
Example Calculation:
- A student attempts 20 problems.
- They answer 15 within two minutes.
- Focus % = (15 ÷ 20) × 100 = 75% → This indicates strong focus.
Higher Focus % means the student is working efficiently.
Lower Focus % may indicate distractions or lack of engagement.
What a Low Focus % Means
Example:
- A student logs 30 minutes in MobyMax but only spends 10 minutes actively working.
- They answer only 25% of problems within two minutes.
- Focus % = 25%, signaling low engagement.
Students with low Focus % may need:
- Support staying on task.
- Guidance on pacing and time management.
- A structured learning plan to improve focus.
Using Focus % to Support Student Learning
- Helps identify students who struggle with engagement.
- Allows teachers to adjust instruction and provide interventions.
- Works as a complementary metric alongside Time Spent to assess overall student participation.
