Open a running session and you get the live view — a Heatmap of every student × every problem (there's also a Whiteboard view for watching one student's actual work). The status pill tells you if the session is Live, Paused, or Ended.

Reading the heatmap

Each cell is colored by how much support that student needed on that problem — from Independent through Occasional and Extensive support — plus currently working and yet to start. See what support levels mean. Per student you get completion, time spent, and average support level; per problem, accuracy, retries, and how often help was requested.

Thinkverse also taps you on the shoulder. Banners appear automatically when someone:

• hasn't started after a few minutes,
• has gone idle mid-problem,
• has fallen well behind the class pace, or
• is struggling — three or more wrong attempts on one problem.

Each banner names the student and the problem, so you know exactly where to walk. Mute dismisses one if you've already handled it. (Safety alerts show in red in the same spot — those are worth acting on immediately.)

A Hide name & answers toggle anonymizes the board when it's on the projector.

Controls you have mid-session

• Pause / Resume — freezes every student's screen instantly with a "wait for your teacher" message. For when you need eyes up front.
• Finish Entry Ticket / Start Exit Ticket — if the session has tickets, you decide when the class moves between phases.
• End — closes the session now (it sets the due date to now).

After the bell

The Identified Gaps panel lists the misconceptions the session surfaced — and Create Follow-up Session turns them into next class's differentiated practice in one step. If the session had entry and exit tickets, a Growth report (mastery gain, confidence gain) appears when it ends.

Everything here lives in the ⋯ menu on a session's row — on the Sessions page or in a classroom's session list.

What you can edit after publishing

⋯ → Edit opens the Update session panel. You can change:

• Session name
• Start date and due date
• Classrooms (you can publish to additional classrooms; you can't unpublish)
• Enable calculator, Randomize ordering

You can't change the problems or skills of a published session. Once students may have started, the content is locked — if the problems need to change, ⋯ → Duplicate the session, edit the copy (drafts are fully editable), and delete the original.

Dates, and what "past due" means

A session has a start date and a due date — the due date is the end marker; there's no separate end time.

When the due date passes, the session shows Completed for you — but students can still open it from their Past due tab and finish. Late work is marked Completed late and doesn't count toward completion in analytics, so you can tell it apart.

• Extend a session: ⋯ → Edit, push the due date out. It returns to Active.
• End a session early: ⋯ → End session sets the due date to now.

Pause

⋯ → Pause session (or the Pause button in the live session view) freezes the room instantly: every student gets a full-screen "Session is paused — please wait for your teacher to resume" and their timers stop. Resume picks up where they left off. Useful mid-class when you want eyes up front.

Delete

⋯ → Remove (published) or Delete (drafts). For a published session you'll be warned, and the warning means it: all student answers and progress for that session are permanently deleted, with no undo. If you might want the data later, extend or end the session instead of deleting it.

Share with another teacher

⋯ → Share on the session row creates a share link and copies it to your clipboard. Send it to any colleague:

• They must be signed in to Thinkverse as a teacher to open it.
• They get an editable copy of your session — they can adjust skills and problems, then publish to their own classrooms.
• It's a copy, not a live link: their changes never touch your session.

⋯ → Un-share turns the link off; anyone opening it afterwards is out of luck. Sharing isn't available for sessions using student grouping.

Duplicate

⋯ → Duplicate creates "… (Copy)" of the session as a new draft — the way to re-run last year's session, or to edit the content of something already published.

Re-use past sessions

Inside the create flow, Re-use past sessions pulls skills from any previous session into the new one — all of them or a hand-picked subset. Faster than rebuilding when this week looks like last week plus one new skill.

Generate a follow-up session

The third option on the create screen, and the most automatic: pick a finished session (one that's ended or is over 80% complete, with identified gaps), and Thinkverse groups your students by need — Enrichment, Reinforcement, and Learning gap — with recommended skills pre-selected per group. Review, adjust, publish. The result arrives with [Follow-up] prefixed to the original session's name.

One session doesn't have to mean one worksheet. In the session creation panel, turn on Group students (it appears once you've picked a classroom):

• Create up to 10 groups, each with its own name, students, and its own skill and problem selection.
• A group can hold a single student — that's how you assign one specific skill to one kid without building a separate session.
• Skills you add outside any group still go to everyone, so "everyone gets the review set, and each group gets their gap" is one session, not four.
• Use previous groups re-imports the last grouping you built for that classroom.

The fastest way to get good groups is not to build them by hand: Generate a follow-up session reads a finished session's results and pre-builds Enrichment, Reinforcement, and Learning-gap groups with recommended skills already selected.

Two trade-offs while the feature is in beta: grouped sessions can't use entry/exit tickets, and they can't be shared or duplicated.

Students choose their conversation language — at signup, in their Settings, or mid-problem from the 🌍 button — and the tutor's explanations, voice, and interface follow it. Over 100 languages are supported, including Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese, and Haitian Creole.

It's a per-student setting, so one classroom can be working in several languages at once, and nothing about the math changes. For multilingual learners the difference shows up most on word problems — they can reason in the language they think in, and you still see the same work and support levels on your side.

---

Students pick their tutor's look, voice, and personality themselves (in their Settings). What you add to that: custom avatars for your class.

In Settings → Custom Avatars, upload a square photo — a mascot, a historical figure, anything classroom-appropriate — name it, pick a voice, and it becomes an animated tutor available to every student in your classrooms. (PNG or JPEG, square, up to 2MB.)

It's cosmetic — the teaching behavior doesn't change — but it's one of the first things students want to touch, so it's worth showing in the first session rather than letting it become a mid-class discovery. There's no setting that locks students to one avatar; they can always choose from the standard set plus whatever you've added.

Everything students say to the tutor passes through safety moderation. Four kinds of flags exist, in rising severity: repeatedly off-topic, inappropriate language, a student asking for psychological help, and self-harm or threats.

When you're emailed: the serious categories — a student in distress, or threats — email you (and your org admin) immediately, subject line "Action Needed: Review Flagged Student Interaction with AI Tutor." Off-topic and inappropriate-language flags are recorded in-app without an email, so your inbox only rings for what matters.

Where to review: the email links straight to the conversation. In-app, flagged messages carry a warning badge inside the student's conversation drawer, live sessions show safety alerts in red on the heatmap, and org admins get a Review flagged conversations queue with full transcripts.

What the student experiences: the tutor redirects the conversation, and for repeated disrespect warns that the conversation has been reported. Students never see the flags themselves — the signal is for you, not a scarlet letter.

Homeschool note: for family accounts, the alert emails go to the parent.

Ask Pi (in your sidebar, and front-and-center on the dashboard) is the teacher-side assistant. Unlike the student tutor, it can see your classroom data — sessions, results, misconceptions, per-student skill progress — and it drafts documents.

Things teachers actually use it for:

• "Adapt a lesson to my class" — attach a file or pick your curriculum.
• "What misconceptions showed up in yesterday's session?"
• "Turn a standard into success criteria."
• Drafting lesson plans and IEP contributions from real student data.

It remembers context between conversations, so the more you use it, the less you have to re-explain your classes.

The name shows up twice in the product: students have their own Ask Pi, which is a plain math tutor with none of this classroom access.
