Grade fictional students
About this activity
Mistake Hunters is a math grading game for grades 6-8 where students play teacher, reviewing fictional students' worked exams to find errors, give feedback, and run a review lesson.
Who is Mistake Hunters for?
Students in grades 6-8 practicing or reviewing middle-school math topics like fractions, ratios, percentages, and equations, especially those ready to analyze other people's reasoning rather than just solve problems themselves.
What does Mistake Hunters teach, and how?
Students pick an exam folder and a mode, then grade worked exam papers by spotting the first step that breaks down (or confirming the work is valid), choosing specific feedback, awarding points, and giving a hint, before teaching a short review lesson and regrading transfer problems.
How is success measured in Mistake Hunters?
The app tracks badges and saved scores on the device, and offers a review notebook of past work; a quick unscored tutorial lets new players try a practice paper first without it counting.
How long does Mistake Hunters take, and what does it need?
A session is meant to be short and self-contained, played alone on one device with no account or personal data required; sound effects are optional and off by default.
