Creating Classes
The following guide is for administrators of school or district accounts that are not integrated with ClassLink or Clever and want to add individual classes to their MathFactLab account.
When creating classes, please keep the following in mind:
- Only admins can create classes.
- Classes are organized within schools. One or more schools must be added to your account before creating classes.
- In MathFactLab, students are organized by class. All students within the account must be assigned to exactly one class.
- As MathFactLab does not ask for student grade levels, if you wish to be able to sort by grade, we suggest adding the grade level to the class name.
- For example, Mrs. Smith's first-grade class could be called 'Grade 1 Smith'.
- MathFactLab 'classes' do not need to exactly match the actual classes in your school(s).
- For example, some teachers who teach multiple classes may find it easier if all students from these classes are combined into one MathFactLab class.
- We suggest using shorter class names such as 'Johnson' instead of 'Mrs. Johnson's Class', as shorter names are tidier on the admin dashboard.
To Create Classes Manually:
- Select the 'Classes' tab.
Click the 'Add Class +' button in the top right. This will open up the 'New Class' popup.
- Enter the class name.
- Select the school to which this class will be assigned.
- Click 'Add Class'.
Repeat the above steps to add more classes.
