How to use Calcularis as a parent?

Here you can find FAQs about Calcularis usage for parents:

How often should my child train?

Your child should set aside 20 minutes a day, three times a week, for training. After 20 minutes of training, Calcularis notifies the student that he or she has trained enough for the day. The training should then be stopped and resumed another day. To achieve success in the studies, your child should maintain this intensity for at least three months. After this period, you can start including more pauses or reduce the number of training days per week.

What do I have to be aware of when training my child?

Your child should carry out the training independently. This is the only way for the computer to accurately analyze your child’s learning behavior. Calcularis observes your child’s abilities and can decide which tasks he or she should practice and how long your child should work on them. Of course, you can support and motivate your child by observing him or her from time to time. However, you should not intervene or help in solving the exercises. Explain the tasks only if necessary and if your child does not recognize how to solve an exercise after several attempts.

What support can I offer?

Here are some ways you can support your child’s training:

• Encourage your child to stick to the training sessions.
• From time to time, ask which level he or she is on and which games he or she plays frequently.
• Show that you are interested in your child’s score.
• Check out the extra rewards from the points he or she has earned, or which animals he or she has already bought and fed.
• Hang up the sticker sheet with completed working hours and medals at home, where it can be easily seen.
• Show your child his or her progress in Calcularis Coach once every two to three weeks.
