To support your child's learning or revise tricky topics, children, parents and educators can add extra work in topics they'd like to practice a bit more. These are known as an Assignments.
How to add an Assignment in the Learning Zone
Parents and children over the age of twelve can set themselves an Assignment from the Learning Zone in DoodleMath. To do this:
Log in to Doodle
From the Learning Zone, press the red Add Assignment icon
Type in a topic and follow the in-app instructions; the Assignment will then appear in the Learning Zone
Please note:
Only one Assignment can be set through the app per day (if you would like to add more, please do so via the Families Dashboard by following the steps below)
It will only be possible to add an Assignment in this way if no other Assignment is currently set for the child.
To set an Assignment for a child under the age of twelve, please enter your family PIN after pressing the Add Assignment icon.
Parents can add Assignments from the Families Dashboard. To do this:
Log in to the Families Dashboard
Hover over Assignments and select Set
Search for a topic or scroll through the relevant topic of CCS
Click on the grey arrow to the left of the CCS to break this down further
You can view the questions as they will appear within the app by clicking on Preview - this is great for checking that the Assignment is appropriate for your child
When you are ready to set an Assignment press Add
Select when you'd like the Assignment to appear in their work program and which children you'd like it to appear for and press Add
The red Assignment will appear in your child's Learning Zone on the specified day
We recommend only adding one Assignment at a time to a child's account.
