I would like to be able to choose different icons for the rewards that they can earn.
It would be nice to be able to choose different icons for the rewards that they children can choose from the teacher. Some of my 1st graders got disappointed because they chose one reward, but thought it was a different one. Although you are able to read the description, my lower students find that more difficult.

I would like to be able to assign coin values or have a default coin value for reading logs and custom assignments.

Reading log print out
I would like to print a complete list of ALL the books logged into reading log assignments collectively not just one assignment... A list to date.
I need this for my records and would take toooooo long to print assignment by assignment.
We need a print option or a report of some sort for all of the books ever entered.Alison perry

Customize number of questions per practice.
I have children with attention difficulties and while they enjoy scootpad it is difficult for them to remain focussed at times. It would be great to be able to customise the number of questions in practices and assignments and the number of coins that each practice is then worth.

make it so there is a viewable history of all the concepts a teacher has ever assigned for a given class
Please make it so the teacher can view a history of all the concepts she's custom assigned to a given class. Because I skip around, I worry that I will reselect one my students have already completed. It would be extremely helpful to be able to check a numerically arranged list of what I've already chosen.
71 votesGood news! This feature is now available! You can view concepts that were previously assigned when you are selecting concepts for manual assignments.

Mobile App User Interface Improvments
It would be much easier for the kids to have an actual app, not a web browser copy. It is very hard for the kindergartner to adjust the keyboard to the numbers or <> signs and other spacial character. Also i would be nice to make current module and assignment available of line. In addition the screen is so big an movable that many smaller kids accidentally pan away from their problem and get distracted by trying to find the problem back on the screen.

Allow students to skip a math problem (and come back to it).
Allow students to skip over a problem that they are struggling with and move on to a problem that is easier. When kids get stuck it strikes a blow to their self confidence. By allowing them to skip a problem and move on to others that they can do, they can gain the confidence to come back and solve the "tougher" problem.
47 votesThis feature has been added! Students can now skip a math or ELA question and come back to it.

Hints, and Video Support
First, students are left without any support (a hint bar) during their practices, and there are no supporting videos to display the concept! Tenmarks does give hints and videos--these is a major support for teachers, as it gives them go-to resources! Hints and videos for concepts will also support students in being more able to perform individually, and at-home.

Allow teacher awarding of coins for any/all assignments.
Teachers should be able to award coins for whichever student activities they wish. For example, I would like to award a small amount of coins for simply completing a pre- or post-assessment. I'd like to be able to raise or lower the coin level of assignments based on how long/ difficult they are for my kids. It seems this could be a teacher option throughout the app.
