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 addressing 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.
