Open the Heatmap

Click on an assignment you've already created to open the Heatmap, then select the Skills tab.

Review Skill Performance

In the Skills view, you'll see students listed on the left and the assessed skills across the top. This view provides additional color coding compared to the Heatmap and shows the percentage of students who have mastered each skill.

Click the information icon to learn what each color represents.

Assign Practice (if available)

If Practice Mode is available on your account:

  1. Click on any skill to view a recommended practice set targeting that skill.

  2. A pop-up will appear asking if you'd like to assign the practice.

  3. Click Recommend, and a new assignment will automatically be sent to students who scored below 50% on that skill.

Find the Practice Card Problems

The recommended practice will appear in the Practice Mode tab for both teachers and students:

Teachers will see it listed under Recommended in their Assignments view.

Students will see a pop-up on their screen guiding them to the recommended practice.
