No. Beacon uses questions, hints, and explanations to help students work toward the answer and understand the process themselves. This allows students to receive support without missing the learning that comes from solving the problem.
If a student makes an error, Beacon can help them revisit the relevant step. For example, it might prompt them to check the order of operations, reconsider how negative numbers interact, or review whether the same operation was applied to both sides of an equation.
Students are given an opportunity to correct their own work and explain what they are doing. This helps them recognize common mistakes and better understand the mathematical rules they are applying.
The goal is for students to leave with more than one correct answer. By actively participating in the solution, they can build knowledge and problem-solving skills that transfer to future pre-algebra assignments.
