ExamGiant: The Future of Educational Testing, Interactive Assessments and Competitions

  We’ve added a new math game to ExamGiant called   Target Number Mix . In this game, students are given a target number that remains visible throughout play. Their job is to choose the bubbles containing expressions that equal that target. What makes this game interesting is the variety of expressions involved. Students may see multiplication or division mixed with addition or subtraction, and the goal is not just to compute quickly, but to recognize which expressions truly match the target. We designed this game to focus on integer-based arithmetic rather than overly complicated fraction work, keeping it challenging without making it unnecessarily frustrating. We also built the wrong answers around believable mistake patterns instead of tiny obvious misses. That makes the game more educational because students are practicing against the kinds of errors real learners actually make. Another design choice we liked was keeping the target number visible as a kind of background re...

  We recently made an important policy and signup change to better protect schools and teachers. Previously, a student could potentially create an account and select a school affiliation directly. The problem with that approach is obvious: a student could choose a school they do not actually belong to, and then the school would be stuck cleaning up those accounts later. That is not a good burden to place on schools. So we changed the system. Students no longer sign up with direct school affiliation through public account creation. Instead, school-based student access should begin through a teacher/class code. That gives teachers much better control over who is actually entering their classroom space. We also added the ability for teachers to remove students from a class. If that was the student’s only class, the student account remains active, but school-sponsored free access is removed. This is a much cleaner and more professional approach than deleting accounts or leaving schools...

We’ve made major improvements to the V2 Assignment Builder in ExamGiant. One of the biggest goals was reliability. Teachers should be able to configure an assignment, preview it, and trust that their settings stay the way they intended. We spent time improving preview behavior, restoring saved settings more consistently, and making sure game-specific options appear when they are supposed to. We also improved speed-setting behavior and scoring configuration handling, which helps reduce confusion during setup. These changes matter because even small setup problems can slow teachers down and make a tool feel harder to use than it should. The V2 builder is designed to give teachers more control over how practice is assigned, while still keeping the workflow manageable. As we continue building new games and activities, making the assignment setup experience smoother is a major priority. This update may not look flashy from the outside, but it makes the platform more dependable where it coun...
