The learning science

Visible progress and metacognition

Helping learners notice what is secure, what is weak and whether their approach is working.

Why make results and personal bests visible?

Progress information can help a child compare attempts, judge whether practice is working and decide where effort goes next. Toku makes those changes visible so the child can respond to them.[1]

How Toku uses this

Toku makes scores, accuracy and personal bests visible across attempts so progress is easier to notice over time.

What research shows

1

Metacognitive approaches involve planning, monitoring and evaluating learning rather than simply seeing a score.[1]

2

Formative assessment is useful when information about performance is used to adapt future learning.[2]

Why this can matter for your child

Clear results can support monitoring, goal setting and better-informed decisions about what to practise next.

For parents

The number gives you a useful conversation starter: what improved, what is still difficult and what should your child practise next?

Questions this helps answer

  • metacognition maths
  • personal best learning
