2. Set goals for students

Within each content area, identify


skills that you’d like your students
to review. Assign skills through your
learning management system or by
clicking the star next to the skill.

Encourage students to strive for


a SmartScore of 80 (proficiency)
on the IXL skills you’ve assigned.
Remember that each skill is
adaptive, and will guide students
from simpler tasks to more complex
problems.

3. Check for understanding

Score Grid
Use the Score Grid report to check for
assignment completion. Students who
have reached at least a SmartScore
of 80 are proficient in the skill, while
students below an 80 may need additional
assistance.

Trouble Spots
Check out your Trouble Spots report for
instant insights on students who might be
struggling with a topic. Use the groupings
provided to form small groups for
reteaching.
