How to Understand Point Values in TeachTower Math Skills

Overview

Welcome, young learners of Alpha School! This guide will explain why points in the TeachTower game vary between math skills such as Algebra One and Geometry versus Algebra Two and 8th Grade Math.

Breaking Down the Points

Think of it like sharing a pizza. In Geometry, the pizza is cut into 100 slices. Each slice—or completed section—earns you 10 points. Finish all the sections, and you'll have 1,000 points in total.

For 8th Grade Math, the pizza has 70 bigger slices. Each slice is worth 15 points because there are fewer slices, but you still end up with the same total points.

Equality in Learning

It might seem that tougher math skills should offer more points. However, at Alpha School, all puzzles are equally rewarding. Whether you complete a grade level or Geometry, you earn an equal number of points to keep the game fair for all.

Building Your Knowledge Tower

Each new skill learned and point earned is like adding a block to your TeachTower. Some blocks add 10 points, others 15, but every block contributes to building a stronger and taller tower of knowledge.

FAQ

Why are Algebra One and Geometry skills worth 10 points?

Because there are 100 sections in Geometry, each section is valued at 10 points to reach a total of 1,000 points.

Why do Algebra Two and 8th Grade Math skills grant 15 points?

These skills have around 70 sections, so each is worth 15 points to ensure you reach the same total of 1,000 points upon completion.

Wouldn't it make sense for harder skills to be worth more points?

While that's a thoughtful suggestion, points are distributed equally across all sections to encourage students to learn at their own pace and ensure fairness in the point system.
