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.
