This article will take you through how to create a quiz on the lesson page of CLASSROOM.

Quizzes are a quick and easy way to create low-stakes assessments on what you have recently covered in your teaching for a particular class or on the prerequisites of an objective you are planning to teach.

Here's how you do it:

Step 1

  • Go to the Timetable page (It's the calendar icon on the navigation bar at the top of the page).

  • Click on the lesson block you want you put the quiz in.

  • Next, click on 'Quizzes' in the Lesson sidebar, and then select the 'Date Range Quiz' option.

Step 2

  • Use the Generation Controls to choose what Date Range you would like to assess, depending how far back in your teaching you want the quiz to cover. You can select a custom date range here if you have a specific set of past lessons that you want to set the quiz on.

  • Depending on the Date Range chosen you'll be shown the list of Objectives to be covered in your Quiz.

  • You can remove any of these objectives from your quiz by clicking on the bin icon to the left of the objective name.

  • You can also view when each of these objectives you are drawing from have been taught previously, by hovering over the calendar icon to the right of the objective name.

  • Select 'Confirm' under the Objective list.

Step 3

  • Input a Title for the Quiz. This title will show for teachers and pupils, online and offline.

  • Choose the Duration of the Quiz. This will determine how many questions/marks are in the assessment (the longer the quiz, the better coverage of drawn from objectives)

  • Define whether you want Test Conditions Enabled or Disabled.

  • Finally, choose to either 'Save' or to 'Save & Generate'.

  • 'Save' will retain your quiz set up on the Quizzes page, for generation later on. The assessment is not confirmed with the questions created and collated, until the quiz is generated.

  • 'Save & Generate' will immediately put your quiz together, allowing you to preview the assessment, and it will be available to pupils on their accounts lesson view, showing on their dashboard from the day of the lesson too.

Recommended Use

Quizzes are one of the most popular and powerful features of Complete Mathematics. By adding objectives into the appropriate lesson plans, either ahead of time or retrospectively, in just a few clicks you are able to create these low-stakes regular quizzes based on recently taught content for a specific class.

Typically, CLASSROOM users are creating a 20-30 minute quiz every week, based on the last 4, or 8 weeks' teaching content (choosing 'last month'/'last 2 months' as the date range).

By shifting this 4/8 week block with weekly quizzes, we regularly reinforce the content we've just taught, whilst collecting data and drawing insights on how secure each pupil is on that content—easily viewable on the Class' Analytics page. This enables us to react immediately to insecurity, working corrective teaching into our next lessons and plugging identified gaps before they become an issue further down the line. In doing so, we actually save time in the long term
