Q: Can I register after the program's start date?

A: You can register for LeapAhead! anytime during the summer. You may access and make up all past assignments.

Q: We will be on vacation for 3 days. Will I miss any assignments?

A: No, you will not.  We make all past worksheets available online. For any reason that you miss your assignment, you may always make it up  at a  later date.

Q: Can I work on assignments offline?

A: Some students prefer to work on computers  while others prefer to solve math problems on paper.  Either way is fine. For those of you who prefer to solve problems on paper,  you may print the assignment, work out the problems on paper, then submit your answer online.

Q: Can I use a calculator?

A: We discourage calculator use in the program.  Paper and pencil should be used instead.

Q: What is the format of your program?

A: Some of our worksheets follow the standard test format which is multiple choice .  However, there are limitation with multiple choice questions, so many of our worksheets are free response questions.

For free response questions, please only enter numbers as your answer. Our system can only recognize numbers. Please don’t enter any character other than a digit, a comma or a decimal point.  Here are some examples with acceptable and non-acceptable answer formats.

Q: Can I save my work if I only complete part of my worksheet?

A: No. The system doesn't save your work. Only results of your work (i.e. scores) are saved. If you would like to save your work, print out your worksheet.

Q: How does the program give out grades?

A: Scoring and rating students  are not the purpose of LeapAhead!.  Helping students to learn and master essential math skills is our goal. We encourage students find out why they've made the mistakes and learn from them. Students who gain the most from the program are those who make mistakes first and follow up to figure out why.

We don’t give A/B/C/D/F grade to each assignment.  Instead, we award them ‘stars’ to acknowledge their achievements. And students are encouraged to re-do the worksheets.

Here is our grading system: 60% - passing; 70% - one star; 80% - two stars; 90% - three stars; 100% - four stars.

Q:  Do you acknowledge students' achievements?

A: Students who complete all assignments with passing grades will receive a printable certificate at the end of the program. Students who complete all assignments with an average of 80% and above will receive a printable honor certificate.

 Parents may choose to give additional rewards to acknowledge students hard work and their achievements.

Q: May I switch to the Gifted version or vice versa? 

A: Yes. You may switch to a different grade level,  to the Gifted version  or to the regular version at any time during the first 2 weeks of the program. Simply log on and update your grade level. 

Q: Why  can't I log in to Math Worksheet Creator after I update my password? 

A: Math Worksheet Creator and LeapAhead! are two different systems. If you update your password in LeapAhead!, the new password will not work for you in Math Worksheet Creator. You have to update your password in Math Worksheet Creator program also.  If you forget your password, you may always use the 'Forgot Your Password?' feature to find your password.
