Point Scoring to Unlock Level Lifters
Updated for 2026-27
To unlock the Level Lifter after an unsuccessful attempt, or to unlock it in the advanced and challenge levels, students must earn at least 900 points on two activities, one for each operation. However, if a student has already passed the Level Lifter for one operation, they need to earn 900 points on only one activity for the operation they have not yet passed.
This requirement allows students to practice using their preferred strategies while building the fluency needed to pass the Level Lifter. Earning 900 points indicates that a student has a strong chance of succeeding.
Students earn 1,000 points when they answer every problem in an activity correctly and within their Required Response Rate.
How Points are Calculated
The number of points available for each problem is calculated by dividing 1,000 by the total number of problems in the activity. For example, in an activity with 25 problems, each problem is worth 40 points.
To earn full points for a problem, a student must answer it correctly and within their required response rate. A problem that is initially answered incorrectly, answered outside the fluency rate, or both earns half of the available points.
For example, suppose a student completes a 25-problem activity in which each problem is worth 40 points. If the student answers 21 problems correctly and fluently, those responses earn 840 points. If the remaining four problems are answered incorrectly or outside the fluency rate, they earn 20 points each, for a total of 80 points.
The student’s final score would be 920 points.
