The student opens LinoMaths from their home screen

LinoMaths is a math game the student opens from their LinoClass home screen. The game is told which student is playing and picks up that student's own progress. On a tablet several children share, each one gets their own progress back, not the previous child's.

Where the student finds it​

On their home screen, the student taps the "LinoMaths" row, with the line "A math game" below it. It sits below "My points" and above "My portfolio". The game opens in place of LinoClass, in the same tab.

When the row shows up​

LinoMaths is off by default in every school. The row only shows up when all three of these hold:

  1. LinoMaths has been turned on for your school.
  2. The student signed in at school, with their card or the class QR code. With a home code, the row is not there.
  3. It is within the class QR code hours. The page Choosing your classroom's QR code hours explains those hours.

Outside those hours, the game can no longer load or save the student's progress, even if it was already open.

Switching students on the tablet​

Each time a student taps "LinoMaths", LinoClass opens the game for that student. When another child takes the tablet, they sign in with their own card, then tap the row on their own home screen. The game then picks up their own progress.

One opening of the game lasts two hours at most. After that, the student goes back to their LinoClass home screen and taps "LinoMaths" again.

When the game does not open​

If LinoClass cannot open the game, the student stays on their home screen and the line under "LinoMaths" changes to "We could not open the game. Try again." They can tap the row again. If the sentence comes back, check the tablet's connection and the time. Once the QR code hours are over, the game does not open again until the next QR code hours start.

Frequently asked questions​

A student does not see the "LinoMaths" row.

First check how they signed in. With a home code, the row is never there. At school, check the time against the class QR code hours. If no student in the school sees it in the middle of the day, LinoMaths is not turned on for your school.

Does a student get their progress at home?

No. The game does not open with a home code. The student gets their progress back the next time they open LinoMaths at school.
