How do I earn gems in Khan Academy Reimagined?

Updated

In Khan Academy Reimagined, you can earn gems by completing the work your teacher assigns. Your teacher sets a class gem goal, and every time you finish work and show learning, you help your class get closer to that goal.

This article will show you how to earn gems and where to see your progress.

What are gems?

  • Gems are a way to celebrate your learning. When you finish certain assignments like exercises, quizzes, or Khanmigo chats, you earn gems.
  • Your gems count toward your class’s total, and reaching gem goals can unlock cool class rewards your teacher has chosen.

How do I earn gems?

  • You earn gems by completing activities your teacher assigns you in Khan Academy. Each type of activity gives you a different number of gems.

Here’s a list of activities and how many gems they can earn:

 Assigned Activity  Gems
 Exercises

 10 gems for bringing one skill to Proficient

 1 skill to proficient = 10 gems

 Quizzes, Unit Tests, Mastery  Challenges and Course  Challenges 

 Varies, based on the total skills brought to proficiency

 1 skill to proficient = 10 gems. So if you got 5 skills to proficient, you would receive 50 gems

Writing Coach 10 gems once you mark the assignment complete
 Assigned Khanmigo activities  1 gem 
 Articles and Videos  0 gems

 

Can I earn bonus gems?

Yes! You can earn extra gems when you do even more:

  • 5 bonus gems for moving a skill from Proficient to Mastery (in a unit test)
  • 10 bonus gems for finishing a full unit assigned by your teacher
  • 1 bonus gem for finishing all work in a daily mission
  • 5 bonus gems for finishing all work in a weekly mission

Can I lose gems?

No. Once you earn gems, they are yours to keep!

  • You won’t lose gems even if a skill level goes down later.
  • You also won’t earn gems again for making the same skill Proficient a second time.

Where can I see my gems?

You can see how many gems you’ve earned in a few places:

  1. The top right-hand corner of your “Classes” page shows your lifetime earned gems
  2. Below "Missions completed," you'll see your individually contributed gems to a class gem-challenge
     
  3. In the “Achievements” page. You can see your own count and your class count
  4. At the end of each activity
