Earn two independent practice stars and one application star, then complete the library skill check for that stage. The check covers the stage’s library prompts, so changing numbers alone is not enough. Hints help you learn; your existing stars and earned rewards stay yours. Clear every stage to clear a level.
Every stage includes an explanation, two worked examples and eight library practice problems, plus checked variations with changing numbers and applications. Each level also has a separate unit test and a later review form. Parents see actual attempts, hint use and results.
