Scaffolded support for every step
When a student gets stuck, they receive a hint about the next intermediate step — not a finished answer.
What a hint does
A hint points to where the next step starts: which rule, formula, or transformation would move the student forward from exactly where they are right now. The full solution stays hidden, and if a student needs more, they can ask for another, more specific hint.
Hints are generated from the student's own working — from what they have written so far. That means two students solving the same task can receive different hints.
Why we built it this way
A traditional textbook gives you the answer at the back. The real gap is usually that the student is left alone with the question of where their own reasoning broke.
We're aiming for a state where the student keeps going on their own. A hint is meant to restore motion while leaving the moment of understanding to the student. That's why it stops at the end of an intermediate step and leaves the next move to the student.
What this means in the classroom
There are always a few students in a room the teacher can reach in time. The rest wait their turn. When a hint is one click away inside the task view, the queue gets shorter, and you can spend time with the students who actually need a conversation rather than just a nudge forward.
You also see, at a glance, who is asking for a lot of hints and where. That's one signal among many to support your teaching.
Hints free up your time to focus your attention where it actually matters.
