Students earn two different types of points by practicing qualifying math missions on Khan Academy’s website: mastery and hustle points. Mastery points are earned for each skill practiced and every level of mastery earned. Hustle points are given out for practicing and sticking with skills that challenge you. Students are also encouraged to complete fun weekly activities designed to help them learn how to learn and develop a strong growth mindset.
