Have your students been faced with exercises or lessons that have become too difficult? This can happen for several reasons.
The introductory activity is too difficult
Don't worry, both the right and the wrong answers will help position the students in the progression. Just encourage students to try their best, and we'll find the right place for them to start!
Currently, students that are rostered with the Renaissance Platform (RGP) will be entered into Lalilo as "other" (instead of "1st Grade", "2nd Grade", etc.). This means RGP rostered students will start their introductory activity at grade one. While this will potentially start out at a level that is too high, students will answer questions and the activity will adapt to the their ability. Teachers can also assign lessons to get students exposure to earlier skills in the scope and sequence.
This will also impact the grade level reporting in the usage report.
They have asked for more difficult questions
Students are sometimes asked to assess the difficulty of the exercises, and whether they would like more challenging questions or not. However, we do not increase/decrease the difficulty of the following questions, even if they have asked for more or less challenging exercises.
Have they received help from their parents during the introductory activity or to validate some lessons?
If they have, then the artificial intelligence on which Lalilo rests may have been misled into thinking that the students needed more challenging material.
Solution: if the exercises have really become too hard, or the introductory activity results don't reflect their actual level, the best option is to re-take the introductory activity.
Students will take the new introductory activity when they log back in, but it will look like regular exercises on their end. On the Lesson View, their validated (green) lessons will remain validated, but their striped tiles will update to reflect the results of the new activity. After the introductory activity, students will have a new starting point in the Scope & Sequence.
