Worked examples and the glossary

Worked examples show a method one step at a time. Underlined words open a definition.

Worked examples

A worked example takes one question and shows the method a step at a time, with the working written out. Your child moves through it with Next Step and Back, and Listen reads a step aloud. On iPhone and iPad, Listen appears on steps that have a recorded reading; Android reads any step with the phone’s own voice when there isn’t one. It ends with a Key Takeaway, the one thing to remember.

A lesson’s worked examples are under Example Questions on the lesson’s page. The Example Question option on a question’s Help sheet opens one too, without leaving the question: closing it goes back to the hints.

The glossary

Maths words in lessons and questions are underlined. Tapping one opens a short definition, so “denominator” or “perpendicular” never stops a lesson. If a passage has more than one, a short list lets your child pick the word.
