Understanding Penda Activity Points

How To Earn Points:

• Students earn 50 base points for successful completing an activity from start to finish.
• Student earn the most amount of "bonus" points for each question they answer correctly on the first attempt. As a rule of thumb, green check marks = more "bonus" points
• Students earn additional points for "completing homework" assignments issued by the teacher versus the automated Penda assignment system.
• The final screen of an activity will always report the student final score (0 - 100%) and total points earned, as shown in the example below.

Why Earn Points?

• The better a student does on each Penda activity, the more points they earn. Points allow students to:
• Move through and experience the different "Penda Worlds"
• Interact with game mechanics and unlock Penda game features
• Customize avatar with gear by earning enough points to unlock the avatar wardrobe
• Move ahead/stay ahead of 10 selected friends a student is challenging against within their Penda account
• Move into a higher rank on the leaderboard
