Difficulty Levels

Otter is for kids aged 8-13, who are native speakers. The range of ages (and abilities) is why there is a system of 6 levels that together make up a single question unit.

In your mind though, you may think of these are just 6 questions on roughly the same topic, and in the same style, but tweaked in difficulty.

L1 - very easy. If a technical term is used in the question, you may want to remind them what it means in L1. Vocabulary should be that as expected an 8-year-old might know. This might well be older kids who struggle on a topic.

L2 - slightly harder. Age 9.

L3-4 ages 10-12 average difficulty

L5 - strong 10-12 year-olds. Potentially applying for scholarships.

L6 - 11-13 year-olds of excellent ability. Definitely applying for scholarships.

For the accurate age-diffculty level match please use Math Questions Templates. You should try to vary the material between question levels, not using identical vocabulary, or repeating yourself. Otter programming language will help you to achieve variability in smaller tasks such as weekdays, school subjects, distance, cities, et cetera in your questions.
