The Knowledge-Map: See Exactly What Your Child Knows
Most learning apps show parents a score and a streak. Useful, but shallow — a number can't tell you where your child is strong, where they're stuck, or what to do next. Amal shows you something richer: the same knowledge graph that teaches your child, drawn as a map you can actually read.
A map, coloured by understanding
Open the knowledge-map and you see your child's curriculum as an expandable tree of dots. Each dot is a concept, and its colour tells you exactly where your child stands with it:
| Colour | Meaning | What it's telling you |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Mastered — solid and reliable | Nothing to do; celebrate it |
| 🔵 Blue | Learning — in progress | Keep practising |
| 🔴 Red | Needs work — struggling | A good place to sit with them |
| 🟠 Amber | Due for review — starting to fade | Time for a quick refresher |
| ⚪ Grey | Not started yet | Nothing yet — it's just ahead |
A bigger dot means your child has practised that concept more. So a "mostly green" branch with a single red dot in it jumps out instantly — it shows you the one weak spot and where it sits in the bigger picture: what led up to it, and what depends on it.
Idle is not the same as broken
This is a small design choice that matters a lot for trust. A grey "not started" dot looks clearly different from a red "needs work" dot. A topic your child simply hasn't reached yet is not a failure — and the map never makes it look like one. You can tell at a glance the difference between "hasn't got here yet" and "tried this and is struggling."
Transparency you can act on
Because the colours come straight from your child's real practice, the map answers questions a plain progress bar can't:
- Where in the curriculum is the weak topic? (Not just "spelling is low," but exactly which concept.)
- What depends on it? (So you know why it matters.)
- What's the right next step? (The map points to it.)
It turns "how is my child doing?" from a vague worry into something specific you can act on tonight.
One source, on screen and on paper
The map isn't a separate report bolted on for parents. It's a view of the same graph that generates the lessons, the books, and the printables. So when the map shows a red dot, you can print the matching practice pack, work through it at the kitchen table, and watch that dot turn from red to green in the app. Screen and paper pull in the same direction because they come from one source.
