by the Wayground Team

Finding the right STAAR practice questions takes time you don't have. Wayground now has STAAR released items organized by TEKS, so you can build targeted review in minutes.

Give partial credit on MSQ, HotText, and Hotspot questions

by the Wayground Team
New
When a student is close but not fully correct, all-or-nothing scoring can hide what they actually know. Partial grading for MSQ, HotText, and Hotspot lets you award partial marks for more accurate assessment data.

Performance & Security
Nothing derails a session faster than glitches, disconnects, or students getting kicked out. The updated Compatibility Check page helps schools confirm network and device settings before your students play.

Find vetted ELA resources by Common Core standard

by the Wayground Team
New
When you're planning for a specific ELA standard, hunting for the right resource can eat up prep time. The new middle school ELA Common Core State Standards library helps you quickly find vetted resources organized by CCSS.

Choose a vertical layout for multiple-choice questions with longer text or wider images

by the Wayground Team
Long answer choices and wide images can feel cramped on one screen. Now you can use a vertical layout for multiple-choice questions, and Wayground can auto-switch layouts to keep things readable for students.
