🧑‍🏫 How Luna teaches

Luna's Board puts a picture under the words: ten-frames, number lines, base-ten blocks, groups, fraction bars, drawn by code from the problem's own numbers. Some questions are tap-to-answer, and each wrong option is the answer a specific mistake produces, so one tap tells Luna exactly what went wrong and she explains that mistake right away. Other questions stay typed or spoken, because recalling an answer builds stronger memory than recognizing it. Before each practice answer your kid taps how sure they are; a mistake made while sure becomes a priority card in tomorrow's warm-up, because those stick best once corrected. Two misses in a row, or answers suddenly much slower, bring a short movement break. On a new level, your kid can test out by taking the Boss first: 10 of 11 moves them up; otherwise the lessons start, with no failure on the record. When Luna isn't sure what she heard, she shows it back ("Luna heard: …") so your kid can say it again or fix it, and she never grades silence. To compare how well different listeners hear your kid, use Test Luna's ears on their page. Every lesson is a real class (since October 19): a quick memory check on what came before, today's goal, then Luna TEACHES: she works two examples step by step on the board, thinking out loud (in math with blocks, ten-frames and the written method; the steps and numbers are made by code, so they're always right), and your kid has a quick try after each. Then they do one together (Luna does a step, your kid does the next), your kid practices alone (mistakes are explained on the spot), and catches a mistake Luna makes on purpose. Reading has a reading strategy each day (picture it, predict, retell…), modeled by Luna on the story before your kid reads, and Luna writes model sentences before your kid writes. The day is about three hours, with two 5-minute movement breaks.

Fast learning comes from never re-teaching what a kid knows and fixing the exact misunderstanding the moment it shows up.

In every lesson. Your kid's page shows Patterns Luna noticed: the mistakes code has seen more than once this month.

1. Look at Patterns Luna noticed once a week.
2. If a mistake keeps coming back, ask your kid to show you on the Board how it works.

Pictures, big answer buttons, a how-sure question, brain breaks, and sometimes an 'I already know this' button.
