Frequently Asked Questions

Daily Maths Review is a classroom maths platform for building quick daily review slides, printable review work, Daily Self Review practice and future DMR Testing. It started as a free Review Builder and is being rebuilt into a connected teacher, student, parent and school platform.

Teachers should start with the Review Builder. Students should start with Daily Self Review or with the class login link from their teacher. Parents can use Parent Mode for home profiles and parent-set practice. The app home lets a device choose Teacher, Parent or Student mode.

Teacher mode is for review building, class management, assignment and reporting. Student mode is for Daily Self Review, assigned work, tests and student tools. Parent mode is for home child profiles, home practice tasks, practice-limit preferences and parent link requests.

Yes. The core Review Builder, presentation mode and shareable review links are intended to stay free. During the public beta, payments are disabled. Future paid features are visible, but ordinary public users register interest instead of starting checkout.

You can build and present reviews without signing in. Teachers need an account for teacher dashboards, class management, billing and school features. Students can practise without signing in, but class progress is only saved when they log in with a teacher's class link or class code. Parents need a parent account for saved child profiles and parent dashboard features.

The legacy Slide Generator is the older generator that many saved links use. The new Review Builder uses the modular activity registry, supports richer activity settings, preview, presentation, print/download options, share links and future student/live reuse.

Yes. Links using old query parameters such as selectedTypes, numberOfQuestions, rangeStart and rangeEnd are preserved and should continue to open the legacy review experience.

The site is designed for classroom computers, projectors, interactive whiteboards, tablets and student laptops. Very small screens work best for student practice or the app-style Teacher, Parent and Student modes rather than full teacher presentation.

Use the Contact page for support or the feedback button in the Review Builder. Teachers can also use the Feature Vote page when signed in.

Open the Review Builder, choose activity tiles, adjust each row in Your Review, then use Preview Questions or Present Slides. Each row can usually be duplicated, removed and configured with activity-specific options.

The modular app currently covers number relationships, counting, number representation, place value, operations, multiplication facts, fractions, decimals, percentages, number lines, measurement, money, time, data, chance, arrays, grid references, shapes, objects, transformations, angles, patterns, rounding and word problems.

Yes. Use Search Activity Library in the Review Builder to find topics such as fractions, ruler, arrays, money or time.

It gives a curriculum and year-level starting point. The builder can use Australian Curriculum v9, NSW Mathematics K-10 and Victorian Curriculum F-10 Mathematics v2.0 starting profiles. Turning curriculum on can apply sensible starting settings, and the By year view can filter the activity library. Teachers can still change the activities and options.

The builder defaults to showing the full library so teachers are not blocked by a year-level filter. This is intentional because revision, intervention and extension often need activities from nearby year levels.

Yes. Build Random Review creates a mixed review based on the selected curriculum and year-level starting point, using the chosen time as a rough classroom pacing estimate.

Presentation options include immediate answer reveal or answers at the end. Immediate reveal shows an answer before moving on. At end keeps answers hidden until the final answer summary.

Differentiated slides create three related versions where the activity has useful low, middle and high settings. If an activity cannot produce useful differentiated variants, it falls back to normal generated questions.

Yes. Presentation options include several classroom handwriting fonts and a readable system font. The same setting affects preview and presentation.

Yes. Use Print Questions. The builder generates a printable worksheet-style HTML file or print window from the generated review.

The Review Builder has a PowerPoint download action. During the public beta, PowerPoint downloads are visible but route to register interest for ordinary public users unless owner/test access is active. Polished downloads are part of the Teacher Plus plan direction.

The Save Plan button is not fully connected yet. For now, use Copy Share Link and bookmark or store the link. Share links preserve the selected activities and settings for the modular builder.

Yes. Use Copy Share Link in the Review Builder. If clipboard access is blocked by the browser, the builder shows the link so it can be copied manually.

You can share a review or practice link, but the teacher presentation review is primarily designed for whole-class use. Student practice and assigned tasks are better for answerable student work.

Activities are designed to fail in isolation. A broken or unsupported activity should be skipped or reported without breaking the whole review.

Yes. Old links still open the legacy Slide Generator. The Review Builder is the main direction for new work, but the legacy experience remains available for compatibility.

The Review Builder can print generated review questions and supports answer reveal/summary in the review flow. During the public beta, more polished print packs are visible as future Teacher Plus features and route to register interest.

Daily Self Review is the student practice space. Students answer continuous short sets, build their Stack, choose activities or a starting level, and can use support tools such as hints, explanations and glossary terms. If a student says "I don't know" or needs practice, the next question can step down to a lower related version of that skill.

A practice brick represents completed practice, usually one finished three-question set or activity session. Bricks show how much practice has been completed. Accuracy and mastery are shown separately so a brick count is not treated as a test score.

Yes. Public practice works without an account. Guest students can choose an age or year starting point or a specific activity. The age/year starting point is only used on the current page to choose questions and is not saved. Progress-based recommendations and teacher-visible progress require a saved student context such as class login or a supported signed-in student path.

The teacher gives students a class login link or class code. Students enter their name and the password set by the teacher.

Assigned Work is the practice a teacher has selected for a class or student. It appears on the student dashboard after the student logs in through the class flow.

Start Assigned Mix combines the assigned activities into one practice session so students can work across several topics.

Find My Starting Level is a placement-style check that helps identify a student's starting point. It is rule-based and gives a starting signal; it does not automatically make high-stakes decisions.

Text-answer questions are marked automatically where the system can confidently compare answers. Some visual, drawing or teacher-led questions may use self-marking such as I got it or Need practice.

Check the answer format first, especially for fractions, money, time and multi-part answers. If it still looks wrong, tell your teacher or send feedback so the answer matcher can be improved.

Practice items can show Hints, Explanation and Glossary. Tests hide practice support because they are intended to measure what the student can do independently.

For class students, completed assigned work and signed-in Daily Self Review sessions can save attempts, accuracy, current mastery, recent accuracy, streaks, timing summaries and practice bricks. Guest practice does not save teacher-visible progress, and the unsigned-in age/year starting point is not recorded.

Signed-in student recommendations are rule-based. They use saved practice history, current mastery, recent accuracy and activity coverage to suggest useful next practice. Guests do not receive progress-based recommendations because there is no saved progress to read.

Parent Mode is the home-practice area for adults supporting a child outside the teacher dashboard. It supports parent signup/login, child profiles, parent-set tasks, practice-limit preferences, results summaries and link-request forms.

Not automatically. Home profiles sit under the parent account. School-managed student records should only be linked after school-approved linking and parent-safe views are in place. The current parent portal can record a pending school-managed link request; it does not bypass the school data boundary.

Parents can create parent-set tasks for a home child profile and open practice from those tasks. Saving home-profile practice progress and enforcing parent limits from the practice runner are still being connected.

Parent Mode stores home practice settings such as daily goal minutes, session limit minutes, days per week, weekly summary preference and whether practice is allowed after the limit. Full limit enforcement and weekly summary emails are not complete yet.

Parents can see information stored under their parent account, such as home child profiles, parent tasks, time settings and home-profile progress summaries when those records exist. They cannot automatically see a school-managed class record just because they know a child name.

No. Parent Mode does not provide school roster lookup, student email lookup, autocomplete, public student profile URLs or confirmation that a school-managed student exists. Parent linking uses a student-generated code for independent student accounts, or a school-approved request workflow for school-managed records.

Class management is a Teacher Plus and School direction. During the public beta, it is visible for planning and QA but public users register interest rather than purchasing access.

For school-managed students, the platform is designed to minimise data. Teachers usually need a first name, initial, nickname or classroom name, class relationship, year level or learning band and a teacher-created password. Students do not need email addresses by default.

No. Use simple classroom passwords created for Daily Maths Review only. Students should not reuse personal passwords from email, games, school systems or other websites.

Yes. Class Management includes Download Student CSV for the selected class.

Yes. Class Management includes class mastery CSV export. Recommendation exports can include each student's suggested activities, mastery level, recent accuracy, question counts, recommendation score and reason.

In Class Management, choose activities in Assign Tasks, adjust available settings and save the assigned tasks. Students see those activities after logging in.

Class Management includes curriculum and year-level settings. Assignment filtering can show all activities or use the class curriculum and year.

Teacher views can show student and class mastery summaries by activity. Progress is based on saved sessions and per-activity progress records, including lifetime totals plus recent scored attempts.

Current mastery uses the last 30 scored attempts for an activity when that recent window exists. A student is mastered by percentage at 85% or higher with at least 10 recent scored questions, or by a streak of 12 correct auto-scored answers. Lifetime totals are still stored for history and fallback reporting.

It reads saved class progress and creates a suggested review based on current gaps. The suggestion is rule-based, gives reasons, avoids repeatedly suggesting the same recent activities, and opens as an editable draft in the modular Review Builder.

No. The current recommendation and placement tools are deterministic, rule-based maths-planning helpers. They do not use hidden machine-learning profiling, advertising data or student marketing data.

Progress is only saved when the student is logged in through the class flow or a supported signed-in practice path. Guest practice, old standalone games and some visual/self-marked activities may not produce the same level of progress data.

DMR Testing is the future School-plan testing system. It uses existing activity generators, DMR target codes and curriculum module metadata. Current test banks support Australian Curriculum v9.0 Mathematics, NSW Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022), Victorian Curriculum F-10 Mathematics v2.0 and the Daily Maths Review Skill Map.

DMR Testing, test reports and school reporting are School plan features. During the public beta, ordinary public users register interest or join a pilot rather than purchasing access.

In Class Management, use Assign Tests. Choose curriculum or skill map, year/stage/level, questions per module, headphones setting, target group, strands, topics and modules, then save the assigned test.

It is an internal Daily Maths Review assessment map using stable DMR-... outcome codes and the product's own activity structure. It lets teachers assign tests by Daily Maths Review skill areas even when they are not using an external curriculum code set.

The NSW test bank uses the NSW Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022) stage structure. Year levels are mapped to conservative stage-based starting points that teachers can adjust.

Yes. Tests can be assigned to the whole class or selected students.

The assessment blueprint supports activities that may require audio. There are no current audio activities in the module bank, but the setting is in place for future coverage.

Assigned tests appear on the student dashboard. The student opens the test runner, answers one question at a time and submits the test. Practice supports such as hints and explanations are hidden in tests.

Teacher reports can group saved test results by student, class, module, curriculum outcome code, strand and assessment source. Accuracy is calculated from scored questions only; drawing or self-check questions may be counted as attempted without changing the accuracy denominator.

No. They are intended to support teaching, planning and reporting. They should not be used as the only evidence for high-stakes decisions.

Live Review is a classroom room-code mode where a teacher starts a review and students answer from their own devices.

Yes. The teacher needs to sign in before creating a live room.

After the room is created, the teacher can display or copy the room code, QR code or join link. Students enter their display name and join the room.

It is an active beta area. It supports the room-code classroom flow, but reporting and long-term progress integration are still being improved.

During the public beta, detailed pricing is a private preview for invited testers and owner QA. Free keeps the core Review Builder available. Teacher Plus is for one teacher. Parent Plus is for home child profiles and parent-set practice. School is for school-managed student seats, practice assignments, DMR Testing, reporting and school tools. Public paid actions route to register interest.

A seat is an active school-managed student with saved practice, assignment or assessment progress. Teachers, administrators and parent accounts do not count as student seats.

School-managed students do not need email addresses by default. The intended school model uses a teacher-managed class login flow and avoids collecting exact birth dates, parent emails, addresses or phone numbers unless a future reviewed workflow requires it.

No. School-managed student data is for operating the service, learning progress, assignments, assessment and reporting. It is not used for student marketing.

The person purchasing or managing a school plan should be authorised to act for the school. Schools are responsible for having the required notices, consents and lawful basis for creating and managing student accounts.

During the public beta, payments are disabled. Pricing details are private-preview gated, and public paid actions route to register interest instead of Stripe Checkout, app-store purchases or a billing portal.

Multiple classes are part of the School plan direction. Teacher Plus is intended for one active class.

School reporting is part of the School plan direction and includes class, year-level, DMR Testing, skill-map and gap reporting. Some admin/reporting surfaces are still being connected.

Parent Mode is separate from school-managed class records unless a school-approved linking process is completed. Schools should not treat a parent link request as approved access to school data. The parent flow must not confirm student existence or expose rosters before approval.

Teacher accounts can store account details such as name, email, school setup choices, account role, entitlements and optional marketing-email consent.

Parent accounts can store account details such as name, email, parent role, parent entitlement, child home profiles, parent-set tasks, practice-limit preferences, link requests and optional parent marketing consent.

For school-managed students, the platform may store first name/initial or classroom name, teacher/class/school relationship, year level or learning band, assigned tasks, attempt metadata, correctness, progress summaries, assessment results and coarse session dates. It should not collect student email, parent email, exact birth date, phone, address, photos, location, health data, government IDs, marketing consent or raw answer content by default.

Independent student accounts use minimal data and broad age-band consent handling. Students under 13 cannot create an independent account by default. Students aged 13 to 14 need parent or carer help and the signup records the notice and acknowledgement versions. School-rostered class-code students remain compatible as a separate school-managed path.

Yes. Use the Contact page for account, privacy or deletion requests.

Make sure the full URL was copied, including the query string after ?. If the link uses old selectedTypes parameters, it should open the legacy review. If it uses the modular builder share format, it should open /app/.

Some browsers block clipboard access. When that happens, the builder should show the URL on screen so it can be copied from there.

Check browser popup/download permissions. Print Questions may open a print window or download an HTML worksheet file depending on the browser.

Sign in as a teacher and refresh the page. Some teacher links are hidden unless the signed-in account has a teacher or admin role.

Use the mode links in the menu or open /student_app.html to choose Teacher, Parent or Student mode again. Public review-builder pages can still behave like teacher mode for ordinary website visitors.

Check that the student used the class login link or correct class code, the student name and password match the teacher's roster, and the teacher saved assigned tasks for the selected class.

Progress requires a saved student context. Make sure the student is logged in through the class flow before starting assigned work or signed-in Daily Self Review. Recommendations also need enough saved practice history to read.

That is expected unless school-approved linking has been completed. Parent link requests do not automatically unlock school records, search rosters or confirm that a student exists.

Check whether the test was assigned to the whole class or to selected students, and confirm the student is in the selected class. If the test was recently saved, refresh the student dashboard.

The teacher must be signed in and connected to the internet. If the room still cannot be created, use normal presentation mode and report the issue through Contact or the builder feedback button.

Hard refresh the page. On some school devices, cached files can linger after a site update.
