Teaching Tools

Teaching Tools allow you to use MathFactLab as a means of delivering math fact instruction and practice to the whole class, a small group, or an individual student.  They also give you a quick way to see which strategies and skills students are working on at any level.

This feature allows you to access and display all of the student strategies at any level.  To begin, click the Teaching Tools tab on your teacher dashboard.

In Teaching Tools, you will see the Addition/Subtraction Levels listed first, followed by the Multiplication/Division Levels.  

Select your preferred Learning Mode and level.  In the example below, we have selected Level H (x6) from the Multiplication/Division Levels.  The screen looks similar to a student dashboard, but with one key difference: you can choose the order in which questions appear - Random, Numerical, or Student Mix.

• Random and Numerical include only facts from the selected level.
• Student Mix starts with the selected level and then, like student activities, adds problems from earlier levels.

Random Order is selected by default.

When you select an activity, the screen will look very similar to what students see, with three added links: Close, Back, and Skip.

• Close returns you to the dashboard.
• Back takes you to the previous problem.
• Skip moves you to the next problem.

As in the student version, you can answer any prompt. If your response is incorrect - or if you click the hint button - a hint will appear.
