What custom program options are available?

To assign a Custom Program, you must have an XtraMath Premium license. The free version includes only default program assignments, which are outlined in our Program Guide.

With XtraMath Premium, educators can tailor fluency practice to meet diverse learning needs by customizing:

✅ Math Operations – Choose specific operations (e.g., multiplication only)

✅ Problem Sets – Select from Beginning, Regular, or Expanded difficulty levels

✅ Fluency Thresholds – Adjust time limits for answering facts (1.5 to 12 seconds)

✅ Assessment-Only Mode – Assign placement quizzes without practice sessions

💡 Note: XtraMath does not currently support mixed operations within a single activity or allow manual selection of specific facts for practice. Instead, during the first three days of placement quizzes, XtraMath’s adaptive algorithm assesses each student’s knowledge and automatically introduces facts in the correct order and at the right pace for optimal learning.

Custom Program: Math Operations

With a Custom Program, you can choose which operations will be included. The operations are completed one at a time, in order. For example, if you assign Multiplication & Division, the student must complete Multiplication first before moving on to Division.

Available Operation Options:

• Addition & Subtraction
• Addition, Subtraction & Multiplication
• Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division
• Multiplication & Division
• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division

Custom Program: Problem Sets

The problem set determines which facts will be practiced within each operation. Problem set options are currently:

• Beginning:
  
  • Addition & Subtraction: Sums up to 10 and their inverse.
  • Multiplication: Starts with 0s, 1s, and 2s, then gradually introduces facts up to 9s.
  • Division: Begins with division by 1 and 2, then expands to simple division up to 9s, reinforcing multiplication as the inverse
• Regular: Covers all facts up to 9s across all operations.
• Expanded: Extends all facts up to 12s across all operations.

Custom Program: Fluency Threshold

The fluency threshold controls how much time students have to answer each problem before the correct answer is shown. A lower time limit makes the program more challenging, while a higher time limit allows students to focus on accuracy before building speed.

Educators can adjust fluency thresholds to best support student needs, whether providing extra time for early learners or increasing the challenge for advanced students.

Custom Program: Assessment Only option

The Assessment-Only Program is a diagnostic tool designed to provide a quick, comprehensive overview of a student’s math fluency. It helps educators identify strengths and fluency gaps in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, allowing for targeted instruction based on individual needs.

How It Works:

• Placement Quiz Start – The program begins with a placement quiz focused on a single operation (e.g., addition).
• Immediate Quiz Progression – Rather than practicing the operation to achieve mastery, the student directly takes quizzes.
• Adaptive Progression – Based on their final score, students automatically advance to the next operation (e.g., a score of 47 in addition leads to the subtraction quiz).
• Sequential Operation Assessment – Students move through operations in order: addition → subtraction → multiplication → division.
• No Practice sessions – This program consists only of placement quizzes and does not include practice sessions or  progress quizzes to reach the mastery score of 100.

💡 Best Practice Tip: Once teachers review the Assessment-Only results and identify the student's fluency gaps, they should choose and transition students to a regular fluency program. This ensures students receive the necessary targeted practice to strengthen their skills and build long-term math proficiency
