Do you find it difficult to keep up with how your students are doing in math? 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Are you wondering if there are potential math gaps? 🤔

Do you need reminders to celebrate your student’s math progress? 🎉

No worries! We’ve got ya covered!

Whether you’re a homeschool parent or a classroom teacher, these five simple, but powerful tools will get – and keep – you in the know!

1. Activity Feed

Want a quick update at a glance? On the far right of your Parent/Teacher Dashboard, there is a handy dandy Activity Feed where you will see a quick list of the latest activity from your students. It provides an easy snapshot of what has been most recently completed. You can also click “View Score” for more details on a specific activity and there is also a convenient drop-down “Go To” menu that takes you directly to each student’s overview.

2. Trouble Spots

Need some insight into problem areas? Trouble Spots is a feature that identifies which specific assignments your student needs help with. You can easily access your student’s Trouble Spots from your Parent/Teacher Dashboard and will find everything you need to know about assignments that warrant some additional attention from you. For more info on how to access and make the most of this feature, check out Trouble Spots – How to Quickly Identify Where Your Student Needs Help.

3. Overall Progress

Want to see the big picture? Your student’s Overall Progress offers a succinct layout of some helpful information including the percentage of the course completed, the amount of time spent on watching videos and an overall score for the entire course. Overall Progress can be found by clicking on “Reports”.

4. Performance by Lesson

Want to see a detailed look into a specific assignment? You can find Performance by Lesson immediately below your student’s Overall Progress. At first glance, you can immediately see which lessons have been completed, which are in progress and which have not been started. And, by clicking a lesson’s little arrow, you will find a list of every task for that lesson. The status of each task is clearly listed and when you click “View Details” for a completed assignment, you will find a plethora of details for each question! Not only will you see whether your student’s answer was correct, you’ll see how long it took for them to answer it, if they attempted the question more than once and even exactly what they entered for their answer!

5. Email Notifications

Need to know what’s happening while you’re on the go? If you sign up for Email Notifications, you will receive an email as soon as your student submits an assignment for grading. Not only will the email alert you to the fact that your kiddo completed their assignment (yay!) it will also include:

  • The final score
  • Which answers were correct, incorrect, flagged or skipped
  • How many attempts your student used for each question
  • The lesson reference for each problem

You can turn Email Notifications on from the left panel under Course Settings.
