Awarding and Assigning Coins
Pathways Learning automatically awards coins when students complete tasks or achieve certain milestones. Coins are awarded when the task is completed and the weekly goal board is then updated. The only exception to this is when the student is in placement mode. In this mode, the student's coins will be awarded after every ten questions have been answered. Check the student's piggy bank to see how the student has earned coins.
When do students earn coins?
- 1 coin for every question answered correctly
- 1 coin for every positive behavior point
- 1 coin for every word spelled correctly
- 5 coins for every Math fact mastered
- 50 coins for completing a Learning Path
- 50 coins for successful completion of an eBook
- 200 coins for linking a parent
