Sending Polymath home with kids can be a great way to encourage them to do a little extra maths practice. It’s also easy to do!
The experience of Polymath at home is very similar to that of independent play at school, but if you’re currently just playing classroom games with your students (e.g. Teacher vs.) you’ll need to grant your students access to their Student Islands first.
When taking Polymath home, students will be able to continue their current progress, create buildings, complete quests for inhabitants on the island, and more! And of course, they’ll be practicing maths while they do it!
All students (regardless of whether they usually login with Clever/Google etc) can access Polymath at home using their player codes. This is the simplest way to play from home.
You can print our your student player codes straight from Polymath and hand these out to your students to take home with them.
Once each student has their code, they just need to enter 321.plus into the browser for the device they want to play on (which will open the Polymath login screen), then type in their code.
You can find the player codes for your students in your Polymath Teacher account under Students here
This is an example print out for Charlie:
Students take their code home and open the browser on the device they want to play on. Typing in 321.plus will take them to the Polymath Login page where they can type in their code.
That’s it!
You can also choose to instead invite kids to play at home via their parents (if you want to make doubly sure that their parents don’t mind). To do this just print out the parent cards from your Polymath Teacher account. You can find these in the Students tab here.
Most parents are just happy their kids are excited about doing math!
