Mathletics offers the Fill Learning Gaps function, enabling teachers to assign assessments to students. After completing the assessment, teachers can view the results and promptly use the Fill Learning Gap function tab to assign Quests, addressing the specific questions students struggled with. This efficient process saves teachers time by allowing immediate follow-up with targeted work, ensuring the prompt addressal of student weaknesses and tracking progress. 

To use the Fill Learning Gaps function, firstly a teacher must assign an assessment and have their students complete the assessment.  

How to assign an Assessment: 

1.  All assignments can be set through the new Refreshed Assign & Review tab in the Assign & Review area.  
   
    
2.  Select the Assess tab.
   
    
3.  Use the Curriculum / Activity Filter to select the assessment you wish to assign. Select the preview selection to view the questions in the assessment. Untick any questions you wish to omit from the assessment. Make sure to make a note of the assessment you are assigning to make it easy to locate the results later.  
   
    
4.  Once the Assessment and questions have been selected, select the students you wish to complete the Assessment and click on Assign. The pop-up box enables teachers to select the timings for the assessment and randomise questions. 
   
   
    On the Mathletics Student Centre, the Assessment will be visible in the student’s To Do list. If the teacher has the lock on to restrict student access, students will have to complete the Assessment before accessing any other part of Mathletics.  
5.  Once the Assessment has been assigned, teachers will be able to see student progress as they are working through it.  
   
    

Using Fill Learning Gaps once an assessment has been completed: 

1.  Once the class/group/individuals have completed an assessment, all the results will be visible. To view each individual's answers click into the speech box with the percentage visible next to each student's name. Once a student's answers have been viewed, the red dot will not be visible.  
   
    
2.  From the colour coding, teachers can quickly identify strong and struggling students and also questions that the class found easier or harder.   
3.  NOW we are ready to use FILL LEARNING GAPS! Click on the blue ‘Fill Learning Gaps’ tab.  
4.  Fill Learning Gaps identifies the class average to responses and the questions that top problem questions the class struggled with.  
   
   Scroll down to see the Quests that have been suggested to match the questions that the class struggled with. Teachers can click to preview the suggested Quests.  
   
    
5.  Selected Quests will be indicated with the box shown as blue and a tick. Click to assign to the group/class. This function assigns the Quests to all students in the class/group. The Quests will be visible to the students in their To Do list. 
   
    
6. Teachers can also assign Quests using Fill Learning Gaps to individual students based on the results of each student. Select the Student tab, and scroll to the appropriate student.  The teacher will be presented with Quests that align with the errors the student has made. Hover over the ‘Why assign this’ messaging to see details of the question that the selected Quest is matched to.
