Help with MathPop
Playing
Sign in with your invited family Authentik account. Choose answers by
touch or use the large keypad. A full check-up saves verified progress and
can appear on the public board under an approved character alias—not your
email or private nickname.
Earning Collectables
Earn a Collectable by completing a successful learning run: get each
question right first time, or read the explanation and get the fresh
learning question right on its first attempt. You can keep practising
after a miss, but later retries do not unlock that run's capsule.
A breakthrough can earn a Collectable immediately. After at least two
mistakes on a skill, three correct answers in a row without hints can earn
a one-time reward for that skill. We look at the preceding eight answers
and use evidence from the last 45 days. The praise tells you exactly what
improved; learning follow-ups do not count towards this independent-answer
streak. Rewards require a connection to save.
Your top five
Open Collectables, choose an owned character and select Add to my top
five. Choose up to five; remove one to make room for another. Make first
moves a favourite to the front. Your choices save with your account. Until
you choose five, the shelf fills with other discoveries.
Shared tablets
MathPop remembers account names on this device so players can switch
quickly. Use Switch player in Account to choose another Authentik
identity. Sign out from Account when the tablet will leave your household
or classroom.
Access and controls
Every maths question supports touch and keyboard controls. Use the motion
and sound buttons at the top. Arcade games show touch controls below the
game. If a control is inaccessible, stop playing and report it so an
alternative can be added.
Accounts and recovery
Sign-in and recovery are managed by Authentik. Use Account for your player
nickname, public board preference, device sign-out and data export. Ask
Craig for an invitation or help recovering your homelab account.
Safety or score concern
Public boards use approved aliases. Signed-in players can report a score
and remove their own entry. For a privacy, safety, account or
vulnerability concern, email
mathpop@deverall.nz. Urgent
safety and privacy reports are prioritised.
